Today in Nairobi, we are convening women mobilizers, aspiring women leaders, youth organizers, national and county officials, grassroots influencers, and civic actors for the inception meeting.

As Kenya moves closer to 2027, the digital space is increasingly where women and young people are targeted, harassed, and pushed out.

Through , we are working to strengthen safer digital civic ecosystems by supporting grassroots women, young people, and community actors with the tools, conversations, and collective support necessary to navigate digital spaces safely and confidently ahead of the 2027 elections.

Last month, we named the crisis. Today, we are building the response, one community at a time.

Grassroots women leaders, Chama representatives, young feminist organizers, university student leaders, survivors, and youth civic actors from across Nairobi are in a room right now - the women their communities already trust and turn to.

Through , we are equipping them with practical tools to recognize, prevent, and respond to Electoral Gender-Based Violence. As Kenya moves closer to 2027, every woman deserves to show up without fear.

Kenya has chamas. South Africa has stokvels. West Africa has tontines and susu. Egypt has gam'eya. Cameroon has njangi.

Different names. The same power.

This is not a coincidence. This is a continent that has been organizing outside of formal institutions for centuries because formal institutions were built to exclude them.

What we are witnessing is not local. It is continental. It is a long tradition of women building power in the spaces they already occupy.

Ordinary spaces. Extraordinary change.

This , we join the global community under the theme "Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future." Environmental degradation, pollution, and climate change are not inevitable; they are the result of systems that can be challenged and rebuilt.

At Badili, we believe environmental justice is inseparable from social justice. Through our Sustainable Environmental Practices pillar, we are building towards research, advocacy, and campaigns that hold industries accountable and advance a greener future.

The future we inherit will be shaped by the choices we make now. 🌍🌱

They call it gossip. We call it power.

In Kenya, women have always gathered - in Chamas, in markets, in salons - and talked. About their children. Their landlords. The broken water pump. The chief who never shows up.

The world dismisses it as just "gossip." It never is.

It is the most trusted form of civic communication in communities where formal institutions have failed. At Badili Africa, we call it - the process by which Chama women shift everyday conversation into civic and political dialogue. Not as outsiders. Not as lecturers. As neighbors. As trusted insiders. As women who already hold the most powerful networks in their communities.

Madaraka means self-rule. But what freedom is this, when women are being killed and Kenya moves on?

Today we march, not against the spirit of this day, but for it. Because Kenya is not free until every woman is free.

We refuse to normalize femicide. 🇰🇪✊🏾

63 years of Madaraka. Self-rule was never just a moment; it is a demand we renew every generation. Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we organize.

Kenya is facing an escalating crisis of gender-based violence, femicide, digital violence, and electoral intimidation, with women and girls bearing the heaviest cost and survivors continuing to face systemic barriers to safety, justice, and dignity.

Yesterday, we officially launched the FemiRise Project, bringing together grassroots women leaders, Chama representatives, young feminist organizers, university student leaders, survivors, and youth civic actors to name what's happening to women and girls in Kenya and build the organizing power to change it.

These are not statistics; they are lived realities carried by women in our communities every single day.

FemiRise exists to build safer spaces for feminist organizing across communities, campuses, and digital platforms.

Women cannot fully participate in democracy while carrying the full burden of care work.

Every time we host a community session, we see it.

Women walk in carrying their children because there is no one else to leave them with. They sit through the meeting distracted, pulled between the conversation and the child on their lap. Others do not show up at all. Not because they do not care, but because care work would not let them leave.

These are the same women missing from public participation forums. Not in the room when decisions about their land, their health, and their futures are being made.

Care work shapes who has the time, energy, and freedom to participate in and life. And until we treat it as the structural issue it is, the promise of women's political participation will remain exactly that - a promise.

Care work is not just a household issue. It is a democracy issue.
