Bemnet Agata is a Pan-African feminist researcher and communications strategist based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. With a strong grounding in gender justice and political economy, she has worked across global movements focused on climate justice, debt abolition, and feminist alternatives to austerity. Her advocacy has spanned international platforms and organizations including the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, Amnesty International, and the African Union, where she has amplified the voices of frontline communities and mobilized narratives for systemic change.
Bemnet holds an MSc in Human Rights with a focus on Gender from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her work explores the intersections of extractivism, sovereign debt, and the gendered impacts of global financial systems — particularly how policy failures disproportionately burden women in the Global South. As a passionate advocate for economic justice, she brings a storytelling lens to her campaigns, connecting data to lived realities and shifting power back to communities.
