As a feminist organisation, we commend the launch of Distinguished Women Leaders: Profiles in Courage and Service Leadership in Nation Building, and we commend the 69 remarkable women whose stories it honours.

We urge them to continue mentoring others, opening doors, and lifting the next generation of women leaders, so that no woman who becomes the first ever remains the only one.

The Commission has issued a Public Advisory reminding all Kenyans that every survivor of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) has a legal and constitutional right to free, immediate and respectful medical care at all public health facilities.

The advisory outlines the essential services survivors are entitled to at no cost, including emergency medical treatment, HIV prevention medication (PEP), emergency contraception, collection and preservation of forensic evidence, completion of the P3 and Post R**e Care (PRC) forms, as well as counselling and psychosocial support. These services must be provided promptly, regardless of whether a survivor has a police report, is registered with the Social Health Authority (SHA), or has health insurance.

It also emphasizes that it is unlawful for any public health facility to deny, delay or charge survivors for these services. Read the advisory here:https://www.ngeckenya.org/img/downloads/PUBLIC-INFORMATION-ADVISORY-ON-YOUR%20RIGHTS.PDF

Human Rights Monitoring Training

In July 2026, the Coalition for Peace and Gender Champions-Kenya was privileged to be trained on Human Rights Monitoring, courtesy of Chapter Four Programs & Projects Limited, in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation Kenya Foundation for Freedom (FNF).

Their training aimed at "Upscaling Existing & Reliable Community Leadership" equipping community leaders with the tools and confidence to identify, document, and respond to human rights concerns in their own areas.

Present were Judie Kaberia of FNF Foundation, and Njeri Kabeberi, Founder of Chapter IV.
We were grateful to our partners and Coalition members for their active participation and commitment to protecting and promoting human rights at the grassroots. 🙌
