Who We Are

Five associations. One collective voice.

Hoban Network brings together five women's associations based in Djibouti-ville around shared objectives and priorities. Acting together makes our voice more visible and more influential than any association acting alone.

  • Women's leadership
  • Women's rights
  • Equality
