Yaliwe Clarke is an independent feminist consultant, a Life Coach, and previous director of the African Gender Institute at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Since 2000, she has worked with civil society organizations and interacted with a wide range of social justice activists (especially those that work in feminist movements/networks), peace-builders/conflict resolution practitioners, diplomats, and peace and security personnel in over 11 countries in Africa. She is a skilled conflict resolution practitioner, trainer, and facilitator who has experience in assisting nonprofit organisations, and government officials across the African continent, particularly during her time as a Senior Trainer at the Centre for Conflict Resolution, based in Cape Town. Alongside this work, Yaliwe has taught and written on African Feminism(s), peace, security, and development at the University of Cape Town since 2008. She has a Ph.D. in Social Development that investigated the micro-politics of women’s ‘peace activism’ in northern Uganda. She is also interested in post-conflict reconstruction processes; social change processes in times of crisis; and notions of respectable femininity, marriage, pleasure, and (hetero)sexuality in Africa. In entrepreneurship, she is co-founder of Maliya Tours & Transfers which focuses on travelers seeking out sites and herstories in South Africa that are distinct from those in other countries and based on hers and her co-founder’s experiences living in the Western Cape.
