Co-CEOChildrens Rights Innovation Fund
Rosa Bransky is Co-CEO of Purposeful, the world’s first Africa-rooted hub, resourcing and mobilising girls’ resistance all over the world. The organisation works across four roles: centring feminist education as the bedrock of social justice movements, holding space for girls to build a base for their shared struggles, amplifying girls’ voices to make sure they are heard in all realms of power, and most importantly, moving money directly into their hands. A feminist activist, strategist, and researcher, Rosa founded Purposeful at the height of the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone with her long-time friend and co-conspirator Chernor Bah. She began working in front-line social services with women and girls in the UK 20 years ago, with a focus on survivors of early childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and the criminal justice system and before establishing Purposeful, Rosa worked with a range of social justice practitioners, bi- and multilateral agencies and private foundations.
