Women Forward' (ACM) is a South African political party founded in June 2008.

Starting as an activist movement in 2007, founder Nana Ngobese (granddaughter of Albert Luthuli) formed a party to contest the 2009 elections.

The party focuses on gender equity and equality, highlighting the fact that there has never been a female finance minister or auditor-general. Ngobese also called for the castration of rapists.[1]

Most of its membership comes from Limpopo.[2]
