Today we say "Enough is Enough."

❌ For the children lost every single day.
❌ For the women murdered week in, week out.
❌ For the women & children whose lives are reduced to daily statistics.
❌ For the futures stolen by relentless SGBV.

10,581.

Let that number sink in.

That is the number of missing children ripped from Kenyan homes over the last 15 months. These are not just figures on a report.

These are empty beds, frantic parents, and futures stolen far too soon. Combine that with the reality of women being murdered week in, week out, and it becomes clear: violence against the vulnerable is escalating, and we cannot afford to normalize it. >>>

Wishing peace, joy, and meaningful reflection to all our community members, peers, and supporters celebrating Eid al Adha today.

A landmark ruling. A historic moment. A powerful reminder that transgender rights are human rights. ⚖️🏳️‍⚧️

While regressive, anti-rights machinery continues to threaten civic spaces and human dignity across Africa, Kenya’s judiciary has held the line. This High Court judgment is a monumental triumph for institutional accountability and constitutional supremacy.

..don't matter enough to speak up for. That silence creates a heavy, isolating environment that breaks people down from the inside out.

This Thursday, We are challenging the culture of passive bystander. Solidarity isn’t a quiet feeling; it’s a vocal stance.

[Amkeni Org @Amkeni_Org]

#ThursdayInBlack

Let’s be honest, when someone is being harassed, mocked, or threatened because of how they express their gender or who they love, walking away silently isn’t minding your business. It’s a vote for the status quo.

Every time we look the other way to avoid an uncomfortable conversation, we give perpetrators a green light. We tell them the safety, dignity, & mental peace of queer persons >>>>

Sisi tuko chonjo tayari. Ma-champions wetu wamejihami na ma-fact za ukweli so that accurate, youth friendly information reaches community directly.

Let’s keep pushing towards an HIV free future together.

Hii Injectable PrEP mpya ni tool ya nguvu sana, lakini impact yake inaanza na knowledge. 💉🔥

Ndio maana huku Amkeni, kujiongeza na continuous learning iko kwa culture yetu kabisa.

[Amkeni Org @Amkeni_Org]

We recently brought together our staff and community PrEP Champions for a fun and engaging training on injectable PrEP and the national rollout mechanics.

[Amkeni Org @Amkeni_Org]

True democracy requires active participation, meaningful equity, and the absolute protection of human rights for all.

At Amkeni, we choose to mark this day by continuing the vital work on the ground: mobilising community around civic rights, dismantling structural stigma, & > >

Today, we recognize that families exist in diverse forms, including chosen families that provide love, safety, care, and belonging for many queer people in Kenya. Community is family too.

WEAR BLACK. SPEAK TRUTH. HEAL LIVES. 🖤🔊

Violence affects more than body. It affects how people think, sleep, trust, move through the world, & see themselves.

For many queer people, violence, rejection, discrimination, & fear become daily experiences weighing on #MentalHealth

[Amkeni Org @Amkeni_Org]

Anxiety, isolation, trauma, and emotional exhaustion often go unseen, even when the harm runs deep.

This #ThursdayInBlack, we #speak #against #violence because safety and mental health are deeply connected. Communities heal when people are #protected, #respected, & #supported.
