Our voices matter. Our lives matter. Our rights matter.
Ending violence against women requires all of us to take action. We must speak up, stand together, and work towards communities where women and girls can live safely, freely, and with dignity.
At BHESP, we believe advocacy starts with a voice, but real change requires action.
Let’s keep talking. Let’s keep advocating. Let’s keep demanding an end to violence against women.
Our voices. Our power. Our collective action.

Violence should never become something we learn to live with.Control, threats, harassment, forced s*x and physical violence are not normal parts of a relationship. They hurt. They silence. And they can have lasting consequences.
Women deserve to live, speak, make choices and seek help without fear.
At BHESP, we believe it’s time we stopped normalising violence and started having honest conversations about GBV, SGBV and femicide.
Speak up. Know your rights. Seek support. Together, let’s continue creating safer spaces for women and young girls.

Cervical cancer or endometriosis — can you tell the difference?
Both can cause pelvic pain, but they are not the same condition. Knowing the signs can help you recognise when something needs attention.
Unusual bleeding or discharge? Don’t ignore it.
Period pain that is severe or keeps disrupting your life? Don’t normalise pain, Listen to your body. Get checked. Know your health. 💙🧡

Day 1 at the HRG Conference 2026 ✊🏾

Today, communities, advocates, partners and stakeholders came together for powerful conversations on strengthening Human Rights and Gender responses across HIV, TB and Malaria.

As BHESP chaired this community-led process, one message stood out: it’s time to move from overpromising to meaningful representation and action.

Communities should not just have a seat at the table—we should have a real voice in shaping the decisions and solutions that affect our lives.

Day 1 also marked the launch of the Community-Led Advocacy Strategy, an important step towards turning community voices into action.

The evidence is already in the room. Now, we need to listen, act and show the change. ✊🏾

Bhesp is privileged to be part of the ongoing Mpox awareness and response training, supported by UNICEF through the Ministry of Health.
The training is an important opportunity to strengthen the capacity of healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to recognise, prevent, manage and respond to Mpox effectively.
As Kenya continues to strengthen its Mpox preparedness and response, equipping healthcare providers remains critical in ensuring timely detection, appropriate management and accurate information reaches our communities.
We are confident that after this training our service providers will be ready and equipped to handle cases of Mpox both at community level and at the facilities.

How much period pain is too much?
Period pain is common. But severe pain that keeps coming back or interferes with your everyday life shouldn’t be ignored.
If your period pain makes you miss work, school or activities, or you need painkillers just to get through the day, it’s time to get checked.
Let’s stop normalising period pain that could be a sign of endometriosis.
Listen to your body. Get checked.
The earlier it’s detected, the sooner you can take action.

For a long time, endometriosis has been a topic that many people have been afraid or unwilling to talk about. But it has come to a point where we can no longer remain silent. We need to create awareness, start conversations, and listen to those living with the condition.
Let’s talk about endometriosis. Let’s not normalise painful periods. Pain that affects your daily life deserves attention, understanding, and answers.
Knowing the signs and symptoms is an important step towards breaking the silence.
Your pain is real. Your story matters. Let’s talk about it.

At BHESP, economic empowerment is one of our key areas of focus.

Through the Reframery Economic Training and Support Programme, we have supported outreach workers and peer educators to start and strengthen small businesses that help them meet their daily needs, increase their income, and improve their livelihoods.

Terry Ann’s journey is a reflection of what this support can make possible. Almost a year after participating in Reframery, she continues to put her skills into practice and build her own livelihood.

We believe that when a woman is economically empowered, she has greater confidence, dignity, independence, and the ability to make informed choices that positively impact her life, her family, and her community.

At BHESP, we remain committed to creating opportunities that enable women to thrive, grow, and build a better future—one woman, one business, and one opportunity at a time. ❤️

What’s your answer: A or B? 🤔

Many people believe cervical cancer screening is only necessary when symptoms appear. The truth is, cervical cancer often develops silently, with no noticeable signs in its early stages.

Regular screening can help detect changes early, for early treatment.

At BHESP, we believe that access to information is just as important as access to services. Taking time for routine screening is a simple but powerful step towards protecting your health.

💬 Would you choose A or B?
