We had the opportunity to participate in a wellness forum organized by Inuka Ni Sisi Kenya which created a safe space for Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) in Mombasa to check in with ourselves, share our experiences, and release some of the stress that comes with doing community and human rights work.
The forum started with check-in sessions where we reflected on how we were feeling, to powerful sharing moments that allowed us to unpack the pressures we often carry silently. The forum reminded us that, as organizations, we must invest not only in the communities we serve but also in the wellbeing of those doing the work.
