An employer has been ordered to pay an employee KSh 1 million for forcing female workers to remove their innerwear during an unlawful "menstrual verification" exercise. The shocking incident happened after a used sanitary towel was found in a workplace bin. About 35 female employees were allegedly ordered by senior HR and Quality Assurance officers to expose their undergarments so the company could identify who was menstruating. The Employment and Labour Relations Court ruled that the exercise was unconstitutional, inhuman and degrading, and held the employer liable despite claims that the officers acted on their own. The Court found that the employees' rights to dignity, privacy and fair labour practices had been violated, and awarded the petitioner KSh 1 million in compensation.

A person's chance of surviving #cancer should not depend on where they live. A woman diagnosed with breast cancer in a high-income country is 4x more likely to survive than a woman in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Access to care matters. But nearly half the world can't access basic diagnostics. The treatment gaps that follow are just as wide. People are still lacking access to essential medicines, surgery, specialist care and radiotherapy. What are the solutions? 1⃣ Better capabilities to detect cancer early 2⃣ Better protections through universal health coverage 3⃣ Timely diagnosis and quality treatment: the best value we can deliver to close the cancer care gap.
