The Kingdom of Swaziland is the only remaining absolute monarchy in Africa. King Mswati III continues to amass wealth while two-thirds of Swazi citizens live on less than US $1 a day and over a quarter of the population is living with HIV/AIDS (Amnesty International, 2013).
The situation of women is problematic in a country affected by HIV / AIDS, women often find themselves become heads of families. However, currently, they can neither achieve nor mortgage coming from a property owner! Several organizations from civil society try to act for the rights of women in Swaziland. (In Slate Afrique)

The federation has built relationships with multiple municipal authorities, resulting in the Mbabane Municipal Council allocating land to the federation for the construction of an office. The federation is currently working on expanding its membership and strengthening its working relationship with the Swaziland government. The Swaziland Federation is supported by the Swaziland Center for Community Initiatives (SCCI), along with the South African, Namibian and Zimbabwean federations. Website
