SRWA was formed on the 08th of March 2011 and registered in October 2013. It was started by a group of rural women who came together after experiencing escalating injustices, closed women space for association and participation, violence against fellow women and the violation of environmental rights in Swaziland. Women and girls face poverty, discrimination, gender-based violence and are the most hard-hit by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. These women went to mobilize other women around the country through door-to-door campaigns, public meetings and community dialogues and debates.
