15 th June 2026 I was honored to join faith leaders from around the world at the Ocean Interfaith Forum, where we discussed fisheries, coral reefs, and the moral architecture of ocean governance. The forum also launched the Faiths High Ambition Coalition for Ocean and Nature Action, a permanent alliance committed to protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030.
During my contribution, I highlighted the impact of high-seas fishing on coastal communities along the East African coast, from Lamu to Zanzibar. Declining fish stocks near shore are contributing to loss of livelihoods, increased poverty, early child marriages, rising divorce rates, and conflicts within and across borders.
I also emphasized the importance of creating grassroots awareness of the BBNJ Agreement (Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction), which entered into force on 17 January 2026. This landmark treaty is the first legally binding international agreement dedicated to protecting and sustainably managing marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
Together, faith communities, policymakers, and local communities can play a vital role in safeguarding our oceans for present and future generations.

As a Muslim womens rights activist I am grateful for this action of the neighbours of that poor girl to report yesterday in Nairobi of the injustice done to that girl in the name of Religion the girl was married at 12 years with fake birth certificate document listing him as a parent too and a sheikhs note he presumed to be the official marriage officiation document as per his justification His audacity to state that Islam and culture supports this is most saddening part of the issue.There are many more early Muslim child marriages in the hiding please let us speak up to end this religious abuse .

The Kadhi’s court of Kenya must follow up on this and matter condemn such illegalities .

Lady Aisha R.A Story is not our story of this age and time , marry adults .No Qoranic verse supports early Child marriages .We are not marrying off our girls at nine years
