Last week, We were honored to participate in the inaugural Pathways to Freedom Africa Network (PFAN) Summit 2026 held in Abuja, Nigeria, a landmark continental convening on ending human trafficking.

Under the theme “Inclusive Strategies for Ending Human Trafficking: Reaching the Most Marginalised,” the Summit brought together diverse stakeholders committed to strengthening protection systems, prevention strategies, legal and policy responses, data and evidence use, survivor inclusion, and economic empowerment across Africa.

We were represented by our very own Kimani Chris, Lead – Decent Work and Labour Migration, who contributed to the final Summit outcomes, including the PFAN Action Agenda 2026–2028 and the Founding Partner Declaration.

This milestone reinforces the urgency of coordinated, rights-based, survivor-centred, and inclusive responses to human trafficking, especially for women, children, migrant workers, persons with disabilities, displaced populations, and other vulnerable groups.

We extend sincere appreciation to the Kenyan Delegation under NAHUSOM-Network Against Human Trafficking and Smuggling of Migrants. for their solidarity and strong representation throughout the Summit.

We remain committed to advancing safe migration, decent work, and collaborative action to end human trafficking in Kenya and across Africa.

Today, we join the world in commemorating the International Day of Families 2026, a reminder that strong families are the foundation of healthy, safe, and empowered communities.

The theme for 2026 highlights the urgent need to address inequalities that continue to affect the wellbeing of children and families across the globe. Poverty, limited access to education, violence, and child labour remain major barriers to every child’s right to grow and thrive in dignity.

Through the Child Labour Pillar, we remain committed to protecting children, supporting vulnerable families, and advocating for a future free from child exploitation.

Together, we can build stronger families, promote equal opportunities, and ensure every child enjoys a safe and hopeful future.

We are proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with EquidemOrg.

This collaboration marks an important step in strengthening efforts to protect domestic and care workers, promote safe and dignified labour migration, and advance gender-responsive policies and practices.

Through joint research, advocacy, training, and movement building, we are committed to ensuring that care work is recognized, valued, and protected.

Together, we stand for dignity, justice, and the rights of every worker.

This week is International Day of Families week, a time to reflect not only on what families mean to us, but on the systems that shape how they survive and thrive.

Families are often seen as private spaces of love and care, yet they are deeply affected by public realities, inequality, poverty, and access to decent work. Too often, the burden of sustaining families falls disproportionately on women and girls, and on domestic workers whose labour remains underpaid, unprotected, and invisible.

Care work is the backbone of every household and community. From raising children to supporting older persons, it is this labour that holds families together. Yet without recognition, fair pay, and protection, care workers remain among the most vulnerable in our societies.

If we are serious about strengthening families, we must also be serious about justice in care work. That means valuing domestic workers, investing in care systems, and ensuring dignity for all who sustain family life every day.

Strong families cannot be built on invisible labour.

The Centre for Domestic Training and Development (CDTD) is happy to work in collaboration with Equidem, the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), the Global Platform Workers Solidarity Project (GPWSP), and partners from across the world on the Pre-ILC Convening starting today.

The convening brings together platform workers, unions, worker collectives, researchers, advocates, and allies to strengthen global solidarity ahead of the International Labour Conference 2026.

As platform work continues to expand, we must ensure that workers are recognized, protected, and heard. This means advancing fair labour standards, social protection, occupational safety and health, algorithmic transparency, and accountability from digital labour platforms.

At CDTD, we believe the future of work must be built on dignity, fairness, inclusion, and justice for all workers.

Happy Mother’s Day!

“A mother’s love is the quiet strength that holds families and communities together.”

Today, we celebrate every mother and mother figure whose care, sacrifice, resilience, and dedication continue to shape lives every single day.

To the mothers raising children with hope despite challenges, to the caregivers working tirelessly both at home and in workplaces, and to every woman whose love creates safe spaces for others, we honor you today.

Thank you for your endless care, patience, courage, and strength. The world is better because of you.

As we get ready for Mother’s Day this weekend, we recognize the women whose care often sustains multiple families at once.

Behind every domestic worker is motherly care. Many are mothers themselves, moving between homes with strength and grace, caring for other people’s children while carrying the emotional responsibility of their own families at a distance.

This Mother’s Day, we honour them fully, not as background labour, but as central to the care that sustains society.
Behind every domestic worker is motherly care. Behind every home is a system of care that must be valued.

Dignity in care is the foundation of strong families.

Inclusivity is not just a principle, it is a commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Last week, we had the privilege of attending a Disability Inclusion Training aimed at strengthening our internal team’s capacity to foster more inclusive, accessible, and responsive programming and engagement. The training was courtesy of the Jasiri Program under Mastercard Foundation.

The sessions provided valuable insights on disability rights, inclusive communication, accessibility, and the importance of intentionally creating environments where persons with disabilities can fully participate and lead.

We remain committed to advancing dignity, equity, and meaningful participation for all.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the invisible battles many people carry every day.

Domestic workers and caregivers are among the most overlooked pillars of our society. They wake up early, care for children, support families, look after the elderly, clean homes, and carry emotional burdens that often go unseen and unacknowledged.

Behind the smiles and service are human beings who also experience stress, anxiety, exhaustion, loneliness, and burnout. Yet many continue to suffer in silence because mental health conversations rarely include them.

This month, let us remember that care workers also deserve care.
They deserve rest. They deserve dignity. They deserve fair treatment, safe working environments, emotional support, and access to mental health services.

Mental health is not a luxury, it is a human need.
And those who spend their lives caring for others should never be forgotten in the conversation.

Every worker in this country has a right to enjoy labour rights, as emphasized during yesterday’s Labour Day celebrations by His Excellency President William Ruto. This principle must apply to all workers, regardless of their level of education, type of work, or employment status.

Labour rights include access to a contract, fair remuneration, safe working conditions, dignity at work, and protection from exploitation. No worker should be excluded from these rights because of their education level or the informality of their job.

Every worker matters. Every worker deserves dignity and protection.
