We are made to believe that we are inferior and cannot support ourselves. Neocolonialism is eating up Africa big time! We must undo and rethink the dependency syndrome and realize that we have maximum potential to solve our problems. 60 years later... #AfricaUnite @_AfricanUnion

Misinformation hampers health efforts as seen during COVID-19 period. With vaccine hesitancy as a result, only 15 African countries have been able to vaccinate at least 40% of their population. Dr. Marie-Claire Wangari - @mcwangari #AmrefCSOChats @AloyceUrassa @HFogstad

Safeguarding human rights is of the essence. We can't afford to stand aside and watch the violation of children rights... Necessary legal actions must be taken to hold the perpetrators accountable. #PowerToYouth @NYC_YouthVoice @Power2YouthKe @YACT_Africa @YEDFoundationKE

Youth empowerment through such programmes - work inclusive and readiness training is more urgent now than before. We commend @Amref_Kenya and @USEmbassyKenya for this timely initiative. #TheYouthMight @YouthActKE @YEDNetworkKe @eacyouthnetwork @OneYoungAfrica
We have partnered with @USEmbassyKenya to provide an inclusive work readiness program for Kenyan youths aged 18-35. The program aims to equip at least 200 youths with basic employability skills & digital skills in Nairobi, Mombasa, Lamu, & Nakuru. #AmrefUSYouthInclusiveTraining

We must be sober when debunking the concept of #GBV or #SGBV. We ought to understand that men and boys are victims of the later.... Discussions based/ focused on women alone as victims are skewed and uninformed. @endGBV
Violence against women is not an individual issue.
It is a systemic issue rooted in patriarchy through the unequal distribution of power, wealth and resources.
We can end violence by addressing its root causes.
