Such a disgrace coming from a leader in society while we are working hard to end violence against women, she's out here promoting it , this is unacceptable and shameful uttering this words especially this period of 16days of activism.

LAND RIGHTS ARE WOMEN'S RIGHT! WHEN WOMEN OWN LAND, THEY OWN THEIR FUTURE.
Grateful to Kenya Land Alliance for convening a transformative workshop which our members were previlleged to be part off, The workshop strengthened women’s voices, rights, power in land acquisition and possesion. We got empowered to challenge barriers and claim rightfully ownership of the soil that sustains our families and communities.

We as Young Urban Women enjoy Learning, laughing, and expressing ourselves! Our weekly SRHR training isn’t just about knowledge—it’s a space for dancing, singing, creating art, and finding calm through meditation. Empowerment has never been this fun!

Today, young urban women took the first step in harnessing their voices for change! Through Social media advocacy training.
From exploring the Human Rights-Based Approach to unpacking The Concept of Power
“power within, power to, power over and power with” the room was alive with energy, courage, and purpose.
From understanding rights to reclaiming our power, Day One of our Social Media Advocacy Training was all about awakening voices and amplifying impact.
Together, we are redefining what it means to lead online with empathy, strength, and purpose.

Austerity is wrecking Kenya’s public education & health systems.

A recently launched report by warns that debt-driven budget cuts are eroding access to essential services.
🧑🏾‍🏫 Schools are overcrowded.
🏥 Clinics are underfunded.
👩🏾‍⚕️ Public workers are overwhelmed.

This is the human cost of debt. We cannot let the most vulnerable pay for crises they didn’t create.

As we wrap up an empowering journey through Social Accountability, we reflect on the powerful lessons learned from our previous deep dive into Neoliberalism and Economic Systems. The knowledge gained on macro and microeconomics strengthens our ability to advocate for justice, accountability, and fairness in every sector. It’s more than just theory—it’s about transforming ideas into action for a more equitable future. Onward with purpose, action, and unity.

DAY 4 ON TERRIFIC THURSDAY!
Today’s learning reminded us that climate change isn’t just an environmental issue but a justice issue. Women and girls are disproportionately affected, often carrying the burden of unpaid care work while being excluded from decent and secure employment.

We must push for a just transition that centers gender equality, protects the vulnerable, and creates decent work for all. The time for climate justice is now.

On 28th May, We supported by Africa Youth Trust and ActionAid Kenya , participated in public participation on Femicide and GBV convened by the Ministry of interior.
Held at the Embakasi Youth Empowerment Centre and the California Resource Centre in Kamukunji, the forums are part of a national consultation process initiated through Gazette Notice No. 109 of January 10, 2025. The goal was to gather people's input for a coordinated and effective national response to the alarming rise in GBV and femicide.

During the forum, We presented a powerful memo with the following key recommendations:
✔ Creating safer public spaces for women.
✔ Strengthening child protection systems
✔ Expanding access to mental health and trauma support
✔ Ensuring survivor-centered services are accessible and effective
✔ Enhancing data systems and accountability mechanisms
✔ Promoting economic empowerment for survivors
✔ Enacting legal and policy reforms on GBV and femicide
✔ Mainstreaming youth inclusion in GBV planning and response

However the forums were marked with some challenges which included:
-People being barred from accessing the venue due to limited numbers required by the conveners
-Some of our members being asked questions as to who they were, where the came from, who invited them etc before accessing the venue
-Women in Uniform took control of the whole process led by the DCCs
-Mobilization was Limited to 200 participant of which the DCCs were mandated to by the County Commissioner due to logistics
-Late starting of the meetings which prompted things being rushed giving people limited time to air their views
-Threats from the DCC to kick un invited participants out of the forum

But all In all as this national dialogue continues to potray how the meaningful participation of young women is essential in shaping policies that protect and empower them.
