Climate justice needs more than statistics. It needs the voices and lived experiences of the people most affected. 🌱📸 Through #KijanaKijani, young people in Narok explored how storytelling, photography and digital media can bring community climate stories to the forefront.

Knowing your rights changes what you believe is possible. At Kotiko Comprehensive School, boys & girls engaged in an honest conversation on harmful practices their rights and the power of speaking up. Know your rights. Know your voice. Protect your future. #F4B #ProtectHerFuture

What ought to be done when two adolescents engage in consensual sex? Former CJ David Maraga had called for the amendment of the Sexual Offences Act, saying the law was unfair to young boys. #JailedForLove: youtu.be/l5gtosV4cqI @Rosiewangui

Religious leaders have a powerful voice, and that voice can help challenge harmful norms, protect girls, promote dignity and inspire positive change. Missed the conversation? Listen to the full show here: facebook.com/SIDAIFM/videos/… #Future4Binti #ProtectHerFuture

Knowing what to do after sexual violence can help protect your health and strengthen the evidence needed to hold perpetrators accountable. Share this information widely, it could help someone when they need it most. #RestoringDignity #JusticeForSurvivors

Protecting children cannot end at the school gate. It requires stronger policies, well-resourced schools, safeguarding systems that work, and communities willing to reject violence in all its forms. #EndViolenceAgainstChildren #PositiveMasculinity #SafeSchools #ChildProtection
Nearly 4 in 10 boys and 3 in 10 girls in Kenya have experienced school-related physical and/or sexual violence according to the 2019 Violence Against Children Survey (VACS). That is unacceptable. We recently engaged Members of @NAssemblyKE to advocate for stronger child wellbeing provisions in the proposed amendments to the Basic Education Act, 2013, including safer learning environments, positive discipline, stronger safeguarding systems, and provision of school meals. We also called for stronger recognition and resourcing of #APBET schools so that children learning in these settings are not left behind.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. Today, survivors of the 2007–2008 post-election sexual violence stand before the Supreme Court, demanding what should never have been denied: justice, recognition, and reparations. Justice cannot be selective. Every survivor deserves equal protection under the law, regardless of who committed the violence or whether they were able to report it during a time of fear and chaos. At COVAW, we stand with the survivors in calling for an end to exclusion and a future where no survivor is left behind. #JusticeForSurvivors #EndSGBV #AccessToJustice #ReparationsNow #COVAW

A healthier Kenya requires more than conversations about mental health. It requires investment. Together with coalition members, we reviewed progress, examined budget findings, and strengthened our commitment to ensuring mental health receives the financing it deserves.
Advancing sustainable investment in mental health through collaboration and evidence-based advocacy. The @mhfac2026 met to review progress, strengthen partnerships, and identify priority actions for increased investment in mental health across Kenya. #MentaFinancing

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐨 Women leaders, journalists, and activists in Kenya's digital spaces are facing a real threat: 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. It's the deliberate spread of lies, deepfakes, and manipulated content that weaponizes gender and identity to discredit, shame, and silence. It shows up as fake explicit images and doctored videos, attacks on a person's character instead of their ideas, tired stereotypes painting women as too emotional or unfit to lead, and identity-based attacks that isolate targets from their own communities. The goal isn't just to embarrass one person; it's to scare others into silence and keep women out of leadership altogether. With support from @UNFPAKen through the Making All Spaces Safe Program, COVAW is pushing back: documenting cases, providing legal aid and psychosocial support to survivors, working with tech platforms for safer spaces, and equipping women with digital safety skills. Together, we can reclaim our spaces. Report abuse. Demand accountability. #EndGBV #MakingAllSpacesSafe #MASS #COVAW #UNFPA #TFGBV

How can citizen voices translate into greater investment in mental health? @HERAF_Kenya convened a dialogue bringing together key stakeholders to strengthen budget advocacy and promote meaningful public participation in mental health financing. #MentalHealth #BudgetAdvocacy

A father's greatest legacy is not what he leaves for his children, but what he leaves in them. Today we celebrate fathers who lead with love, care, and positive example. Happy Father's Day from Menvolved Initiative. #HappyFathersDay #PositiveFatherhood

Every safe space begins with a bold decision to act. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Imara Safe House marks a significant step towards strengthening protection systems for vulnerable women and girls in Narok County. We proudly stood alongside the Narok County Government and development partners in celebrating this important investment in safety, justice, and human dignity. When communities come together, survivors gain more than shelter, they gain hope, support, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. #ImaraSafeHouse #EndingFGM #EndChildMarriage #GenderEquality #NarokCounty #TogetherForChange

A loan can solve today's problem. An endless debt cycle can create tomorrow's mental health crisis. Many men silently carry the pressure of digital loans, mounting interest, debt shaming, and financial stress. Let's talk about the emotional cost of debt. #MensMentalHealthMonth
