Global Platform Kenya

Today, @ActionAid_Kenya , in partnership with @NYC_YouthVoice , is bringing together young leaders on 15th December at Jacaranda Hotel for the #YouthLeadershipForum 2025. Under the theme “Creating Safe Spaces, Strengthening Youth Leadership, and Advancing GBV Prevention for Peaceful Communities,” the forum provides a platform for youth to strengthen their leadership skills in GBV prevention and peacebuilding, engage in safe and inclusive dialogue both offline and in digital spaces, and collaborate with youth-led and youth-serving organizations to develop practical, community-based solutions. Participants will share experiences, gain actionable skills, and work collectively to promote safer, more inclusive, and peaceful communities, and to end violence, including digital violence. @GP_Kenya @GloriaWawia @MercyGichengi #16DaysOfActivism #16DaysOfActivism2025 #endgbv #youthsagainstviolence

Through #GGFest2025, young people are empowered to actively contribute to discussions on governance, economic justice, and social inclusion. The festival equips and enables youth to take on leadership roles, appointive, nominative, and elective especially in the lead-up to the 2027 elections. It also promotes youth-led action and advocacy against femicide and other forms of gender-based violence, demanding accountability from all actors. Additionally, #GGFest2025 strengthens youth-led social movements, digital activism, and solidarity networks to safeguard freedoms and influence policy. The outcome is a stronger, more inclusive platform where young people participate in decision-making spaces and hold public leadership positions, driving progressive change across Kenya. @GP_Kenya @ActionAidDK @SamsonOkech

Speaking as the Chief Guest during the official launch of the #GGFest. "Young people have risen to the occasion; your courage and resilience have shifted the balance of power. The Constitution of 2010 is not a suggestion, and the rule of law is not optional. Young people are not passengers in this democracy, they are its engine. The government must listen and respect the Constitution." @dkmaraga , Chief Justice Emeritus @GP_Kenya @ActionAidDK

Digital spaces have the potential to uplift women and girls, yet for many, they are sites of exploitation and harm. Through awareness and advocacy, ActionAid Kenya works to ensure online environments are safe, equitable, and respectful. Join us in standing against digital violence, speak out, report abuse, and help create a safer internet for all. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #EndDigitalViolence #ActionAidKenya

ActionAid Kenya supported women from Baringo to participate in an agroecology training held this week in Machakos. Organized in partnership with the Acts for Change Trust , the sessions examined the vital role of women in protecting community well-being and advancing sustainable agricultural systems. Participants received practical training in value addition, aimed at strengthening their capacity to generate income, improve household resilience, and reinforce environmentally responsible agroecological practices within their communities.
