Advocates for Social Change Kenya- Adsock

Advocates for Social Change Kenya- Adsock Addressing SGBV is a duty that requires concerted efforts by all.

ADSOCK was started as a way of reaching out to men and involving them in the fight against gender inequality, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV), promotion of gender equality and ensuring a just society for all and sundry. Since its inception in 2001, ADSOCK has reached out to thousands of men and women in Kenya, assisting them to understand the importance of ending SGBV geared towards the r

ealization of gender equality in order to create healthy and loving relationships within the family, community and the wider society. In 2005 ADSOCK was registered as an independent organisation and in 2009 established itself as an autonomous organisation with over 250 active members, working in 22 counties across Kenya.

Day 2. Deeper. Bolder. More committed than ever. 💪🏾
We wrapped up our two-day capacity building training with our incredible partners; Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) , on disability inclusion.

Today we covered:
• Legal frameworks on disability in Kenya
• Disability concepts — deepening our understanding
• Practical actions for inclusive programming
• Action planning - what ADSOCK commits to doing differently

Two days, countless lessons, and a team that is leaving this training fundamentally better equipped to ensure that our work through the Jasiri Program and all ADSOCK programmes truly leaves no one behind.

Women and girls with disabilities face compounded layers of discrimination and are among the most vulnerable to gender-based violence and economic exclusion.

Today, we committed to changing that through specific, practical, and time-bound actions that will strengthen inclusion across our programmes and operations.

A special thank you to Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW)Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) for facilitating two transformative days of learning, reflection, and action. You did not just train us - you challenged us to think differently, do better, and lead more inclusively. 🙏

We also extend our sincere appreciation to for supporting this initiative and investing in stronger, more inclusive organizations that can better serve communities and create lasting impact. 🙏

Watch this space, because what we learned this week will show up in everything we do. 💪🏾

Learning never stops at ADSOCK. 📚
Today we welcomed our partners; Centre for Rights Education and Awareness(CREAW) for a capacity building training on disability inclusion.

Day one covered:
•Understanding disability
•Types of impairment
• Models of disability
• Barriers faced by persons with disabilities
• Solutions to those barriers

At ADSOCK we believe that gender justice is incomplete without disability inclusion. Women and girls with disabilities face compounded layers of discrimination — making them among the most vulnerable to gender-based violence and economic exclusion.
Today's training is equipping our team to ensure that the Jasiri Program and all our work is truly inclusive - leaving no one behind.
Training continues tomorrow. Watch this space. 👀

A huge thank you to the Jasiri Consortium led by Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) and Mastercard Foundation for bringing this vital knowledge to our team. 🙏

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

At Advocates for Social Change Kenya, we are naming what is often ignored: Men's Mental Health and the fact that most men are struggling in silence.

As the society we expect men to be always strong, silent, and resilient. That expectation is costing lives, relationships, and their wellbeing.
Mental health is not an issue of weakness but rather a human health issue.

This month is a reminder that:
• Men are allowed to feel
• Men are allowed to speak
• Men are allowed to seek help
• Strength includes emotional honesty

Through the Jasiri Program, we continue working with men and boys to challenge harmful norms and build healthier versions of masculinity, where emotional wellbeing is recognised, protected, not suppressed.

If you are struggling, it is okay to speak out. If someone around you is withdrawing, check in and find out how they are doing.

If you are a leader, create a safe space for honest conversations around men's well being.

We talk a lot about the problem. 💭
Today we want to celebrate the solution. 🙌

Tag a man in your life who:
✅ Respects women's choices and voices
✅ Shows up equally at home
✅ Speaks up when he sees something wrong
✅ Champions young women's education and economic independence
✅ Is actively breaking harmful cycles in his community

These men exist. They are in your family. Your neighbourhood. Your workplace. Your church. Your mosque.

Tag them below. 👇 Let them know they are seen, appreciated, and needed.
Because at ADSOCK we believe that engaging men and boys is not just a strategy... it is the key to unlocking gender justice and young women's economic empowerment across Kenya.
Be a Jasiri. Tag your champion. 👇🙌

For too long, masculinity has been defined by control, silence, and dominance.
At ADSOCK, we are redefining it. 💪🏾

Through the Jasiri Program, we are working with men and boys across 16 counties in Kenya to build a different reality.. one rooted in respect, equality, and responsibility.

Positive masculinity looks like this:
☑️ Supporting your wife, sister, or daughter to pursue education and economic opportunities
☑️ Sharing domestic and caregiving responsibilities equally at home
☑️ Speaking up when you witness gender-based violence in your community
☑️ Championing young women’s financial independence instead of fearing it
☑️ Becoming a consistent voice against GBV, unpaid care work, and discrimination

This is positive masculinity and it is already transforming communities across Kenya, one man, one dialogue, one shifted mindset at a time.

Are you a Jasiri? 💪🏾

Let us be clear about something. 💬
When young women ask for access to education, skilling, financial services, and economic opportunities - they are not asking for favours.
They are asking for what is already theirs by right.

Across Kenya millions of young women are being held back, not by lack of ambition or ability, but by discriminative social norms, unequal access to resources, and the heavy burden of unpaid care work.

The Jasiri Program is working to change exactly that across 16 counties, engaging men and boys as allies and creating communities where young women can participate fully and freely in the economy.
Because equal opportunity is not a gift. It is a right.

💬 What opportunity do you wish more young women in Kenya had access to? Tell us below. 👇

Happy Madaraka Day Kenya. 🇰🇪
61 years ago Kenya took control of its own destiny. A moment of courage, sacrifice, and collective resolve that changed the course of our nation forever.

But today, as we celebrate self-governance, we cannot look away from what is happening on our streets, in our homes, and across our communities.

Femicide, homicide, trafficking of girls, violence against women and girls that is not only continuing - it is escalating.

How free is a nation where its women and girls are not safe?

True Madaraka, true self-governance - is hollow when:
🇰🇪 Women are being killed by the people who should protect them
🇰🇪 Girls are being trafficked and robbed of their futures
🇰🇪 Survivors of violence are being blamed instead of being believed
🇰🇪 Perpetrators walk free while victims carry the burden of proof
🇰🇪 Communities stay silent because these are called "private matters"

At ADSOCK we refuse to celebrate freedom selectively.
Through the Jasiri Program we are working across 16 counties to engage men and boys as allies; shifting the attitudes, norms, and structures that make violence against women and girls possible in the first place.
Because a Kenya that is truly free is a Kenya where every woman and every girl is safe. 🇰🇪

This Madaraka Day we do not just celebrate the Kenya we have. We commit to building the Kenya our women and girls deserve.

Will you commit with us? 🙏

🇰🇪

It is Friday and we are ending the week with a question. 💭

The Jasiri Program is built on a simple belief — that communities know what they need and have the solutions to the problems they face. Our job is to listen, engage, and act on what we hear.

So today we are asking YOU:
💬 If you could change ONE thing to improve the lives of young women in Kenya — what would it be?
Education? Safety? Financial access? Equal opportunities at work? Less unpaid care work? More male allies?

Drop your answer below. 👇

Every response shapes how we think about our work. Every voice matters. Share this post so more people can contribute. 🙏

Today is World Menstrual Hygiene Day. 🩸

Every month thousands of young women and girls miss school, training sessions, and work opportunities because they cannot afford sanitary products or access safe, private sanitation facilities.
This is not just a health issue. It is a gender justice issue. It is an economic issue. It is a Jasiri Program issue.
When a young woman misses school because of her period she falls behind. When she falls behind she drops out. When she drops out her economic future narrows dramatically.
At ADSOCK we believe that menstrual hygiene is directly connected to young women's financial independence, skilling, and participation in the economy.
Breaking this barrier is part of breaking all the others.

💬 What needs to change in Kenya to ensure every young woman can manage her period with dignity? Tell us below. 👇

May this blessed day fill your homes with joy, your hearts with peace, and your communities with the spirit of togetherness and generosity.

At ADSOCK we celebrate the values at the heart of Eid - compassion, equality, and care for one another. Values that align deeply with our mission of gender justice and community transformation across Kenya.

From our entire team - Eid Mubarak. 🙏🌙
