In Kwale, grassroots women are rewriting the peace playbook.

Through our partnership with UNWomen, over 200 women have been capacitated, female representation in security mechanisms has risen by 40%, and GBV has dropped by 25%. From peace committees to early-warning networks women are leading.

Watch Executive Director Yusuf Lule Mwatsefu share the real impact on the ground.

Do you know what conduct can undermine the integrity of an election?

The Election Offences Act, 2016 provides the legal framework for preventing and addressing offences that threaten Kenyaโ€™s electoral process, from bribery and undue influence to personation, multiple voting, interference with election materials and obstruction of election officials.
As we prepare for the 2027 General Election, knowing what constitutes an electoral offence empowers us to protect the integrity of our elections and hold offenders accountable.

This time, the HURIA boardroom looked a little different. Instead of case files and field reports, there were flip charts, financial notes, and open conversation.

HURIA brought in two sets of experts to walk our staff through topics this sector rarely pauses to discuss: money and health.

First, financial experts broke down savings strategies, followed by questions from every corner of the table. Then medical expert led a discussion on how staff can be fully in control of their own healthcare decisions.

Documenting injustice, standing with survivors, and holding institutions accountable takes a toll mentally, physically, and financially. At HURIA, we believe protecting the people who protect others' rights isn't optional, it's foundation. An organization that fights for must first ensure its own people are treated with the same care.

Yesterday, the world commemorated the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances.

For HURIA, this day is more than a moment of remembrance, a marker of how far community testimony can travel when it is documented, defended, and pushed relentlessly toward those with the power to act.

We take pride in the steps made to address the issue of ED through research, policy, and legislative influence at national and international levels.

Over the years, we have documented and produced reports:
