On this #AfricaEnvironmentDay as we celebrate the legacy of Prof. Wangari Maathai, @UGMParty calls on women & youth to follow in her footsteps; embrace environmental conservation as part of our personal & global responsibility. As she said, we all share 1 planet & are 1 humanity!
@HumanRightsMPs is working with the Isiolo County RPS caucus to formulate a peace-sustaining policy & a gender-inclusive framework. These, once adopted by the county gov't of Isiolo, will be a stepping stone to reducing conflict and giving women equal opportunities in governance.
@HumanRightsMPs is working towards the enforcement & implementation of the FGM Act 2015. By establishing a multi-sectoral working group with law enforcers & duty bearers in Garissa, Narok, Nyamira & Migori, we've helped fast-track the prosecution of FGM cases.
