This Men’s Mental Health Month, we remind every young man: your mental health matters too. 💙

You do not have to suffer in silence, carry every burden alone, or pretend to be okay when you are not. Seeking support is a strength, not a weakness.

Stronger systems. Safer communities.

In patnership with Mildmay Kenya we convened stakeholders in Busia County to strengthen GBV response, improve referral pathways, and advance access to justice.

Next steps: better data, stronger coordination & increased county .

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

Young people must not be afterthought. HIV services must be youth‑led, privacy‑protective, and integrate SRHR – designed with young people and properly resourced.

When youth shape what gets delivered, outcomes improve—and no one is left behind.

🚨NEWS UPDATE 🚨

A new Gender Commission report reveals alarming realities affecting girls in Kenya:
🔴 15% of school-going girls have undergone FGM
🔴 23% have been forced into early marriages
🔴 65% of girls and women faced sexual harassment between 2024–2025
These numbers are not just statistics, they are lives interrupted, rights violated, and futures threatened.
We must raise our voices, support survivors, and push for stronger protection, education, and community action.
Every girl deserves safety, dignity, and a chance to thrive. ❤️

[The Malkia Initiative @M_Ifoundation]

Budgeting for the rights of adolescents must prioritize menstrual health, ensuring girls' consistent access to quality menstrual products.The cost of inaction means girls miss school, increasing their risk of dropping out & teen pregnancy,the cost is simply too high.

School should be where dreams grow, not where trauma begins. We need policies that prioritize prevention, not just punishment.

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

Schools must ensure survivors receive trauma-informed counseling that centers care, safety, and recovery. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

Child protection must be proactive, not reactive. Every school needs a trained safeguarding officer to prevent, detect, and respond to abuse. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect
@yc_kenya

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

Some abuse starts with ‘kindness.’ Let’s call grooming what it is: a predator’s strategy. Stay alert. Call it out. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect
@yc_kenya

[Abigail Wairimu Kariuki @AbbieKaR]

Policies look good on paper, but do they work in real life? Every school needs to test, monitor, and review their safeguarding policies.
#protectourstudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect @yc_kenya

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

Accountability starts at the top. P.S. Bitok, we demand school audits and full investigations of abuse cases. No student should suffer in silence, no abuser should walk free. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect
@yc_kenya

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

If students can’t report safely, they can’t be protected. Every school must put clear, accessible reporting systems in place and act on them. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect
@yc_kenya

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

Knowledge is protection. Equip teachers and students with the training they need to recognize, respond to, and prevent sexual violence in schools. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect
@yc_kenya

[Barare_Emmanuel @Barare_Emmanuel]

Silence is complicity. Schools that enable sexual violence must be named and held accountable. #ProtectOurStudents #SchoolsShouldBeSafe #YOUthKonnect
