//Community of Struggle afoa// (commonly //afoa//, lit. //without fear//) is a left-wing political group active since 2023. It maintains the social space [[en:groups:yalla|Yalla]] in old Nicosia.


=====Group Identity=====

<blockquote>The community of struggle "afoa" is a political formation representing the wider radical space in Cyprus. Working on the basis of  Autonomy, Feminism, Ecology and Anti-Capitalism - concepts that define our name and identity – we want to create structures of political organization and participation from Below and to the Left, shift the political spectrum leftwards through political rupture with the establishment, and lay the foundations for the envisioning and the building of a more humane and just world.

The organisation is part of the wider global and local movements fighting for social and environmental justice, the abolition of patriarchy, and the elimination of all forms of discrimination and exploitation against nature and people. We want to propose another model of political participation in the public sphere, based on solidarity, the empowerment and self-organisation of our communities, and the direct involvement of individuals themselves in the issues that concern them. 

Through networks and partnerships, we seek to formulate a proposal for comprehensive social change in Cyprus, from Below and to the Left, which puts forward the interests of workers; the rights of migrants, disabled people, and members of the LGBTQAI+ community; the protection of the environment; the peaceful coexistence of communities; feminism; inclusive education away from ethnocentrism and religious indoctrination, among other issues.(([[https://www.facebook.com/afoa.cy/posts/pfbid02S1ETzA5AZopJTFgVjHybR4n71yMbeQsjrc1uiTet8P2Mt3ijQKHuxndfwgC7MpAXl|Facebook post of the group]]))</blockquote>
