Omar, a young supporter from Kondele, Kisumu, has been unlawfully arrested, reportedly tortured, and is currently being held at Kondele Police Station because of his political stand with the Linda Mwananchi movement.
Omar is one of the vibrant young people who welcomed us to Kisumu and helped spread a message of peace and tolerance during our last rally.
His continued detention raises serious concerns about his safety. We have seen too many cases where rights are violated in custody, we cannot stay silent.
Our principals are aware and working on his release.
We are calling on the police to ensure his safety, uphold the law, and either charge him in court or release him immediately.
Let’s amplify this to protect his life.

Reporting GBV isn’t always easy. Fear of stigma, retaliation, or inaction holds many back. But with better support and legal protections, more people might feel safe to speak up. #EndGBV#sautisikika@PlanKenya@TaAfrika
Allyship and community solidarity help create safer places by uniting people to challenge injustice, support survivors, and advocate for inclusive policies. Collective action makes safety a shared responsibility. #sautisikika@PlanKenya@TaAfrika
My safety on public transport depends on factors like time, location, and security. Overcrowding, overloading, and unroadworthy vehicles without safety belts make me feel uncomfortable. We need better safety measures.

Local governments can ensure accountability by strengthening oversight, enforcing laws consistently, increasing transparency, involving communities in decision-making, and holding officials responsible for failures in enforcement. #sautisikika@PlanKenya@TaAfrika
Community-led initiatives can make cities safer by promoting awareness, advocating for better policies, creating safe spaces, reporting unsafe areas, and fostering a culture of accountability and collective action. #sautisikika@PlanKenya@TaAfrika
As individuals, we can promote safety and wellness by staying aware of our surroundings, speaking out against violence, supporting survivors, fostering inclusivity, and advocating for safer policies and environments. #sautisikika@PlanKenya@TaAfrika
By publishing regular reports on safety measure enforcement, including data on inspections, violation and enforcement actions.

Challenging harmful masculinity and being an active bystander, also participate in advocacy efforts to promote gender equality and prevent GBV.#sautisikika@PlanKenya@TaAfrika
Allowing themselves to be part of campaigns and the advocacy against GBV. For a long time, they have been labled as the perpetrators, and with this, some organisations have involved them in the journey to prevent GBV
