Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026.

Period poverty remains a major barrier for many adolescent girls, contributing to school absenteeism, stigma, and reduced confidence.

Through our Menstrual Hygiene Empowerment Project, we have provided dignity packs and delivered menstrual health education to students to help keep girls in school and promote dignity, confidence, and healthy futures.

Access to safe menstrual products is not a privilege. It is a right.

Safe and dignified workplaces are essential to a productive and inclusive public service. Today, the National Conference on Workplace Protection kicked off at the Kenya School of Government, Lower Kabete, bringing together government leaders, partners and advocates under the theme “Evidence to Action for Safe and Decent Workplaces in the Public Sector.”

The conference reflects a shared commitment to strengthening workplace protection systems and advancing environments where every worker feels safe, respected and supported.

Convened through the Margaret Kenyatta Institute for Gender and Social Development in partnership with Beyond Zero and other stakeholders, the forum is driving critical conversations on turning evidence into action for healthier and more inclusive workplaces across Kenya’s public sector. Together, we can build institutions that protect dignity, promote wellbeing and empower people to thrive. Join the conversation.

Implementing Convention 190 could minimise workplace violence

Workplace violence affects more than half of women and ~30% of men globally. ILO Convention 190 could change that — and Kenya is moving toward ratification.

Every woman deserves safe motherhood, dignity, and access to quality healthcare. Today, the Beyond Zero Initiative joined partners in marking the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula (IDEOF) at @KNH_hospital, where women benefitted from free screening and corrective surgeries aimed at restoring health, confidence, and hope.

Through powerful survivor testimonies and renewed calls for timely maternal care, stakeholders emphasized that obstetric fistula is preventable and no woman should suffer childbirth injuries due to delayed medical attention.

Together with partners including M-PESA Foundation, UNFPA, Amref Health Africa, Jhpiego and SAWFF and others, we continue to champion maternal health and the rights of women and girls. Join the conversation and support efforts to end obstetric fistula and protect women’s dignity.

[Beyond Zero @BeyondZeroKenya]

Obstetric fistula is a childbirth injury that can cause continuous leakage of urine or stool after delivery. Many women suffer in silence, yet treatment is possible.

Signs and symptoms may include:
💧 Leaking urine or stool since childbirth
🔥 Skin sores & irritation
🦠 Recurring infections
😔 Shame & social withdrawal

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, please come for FREE screening and support today.

Healing is possible. No woman should suffer in silence.

Please share this post to help us reach more women who may need care.

Safe workplaces save lives.⁣

At the heart of Beyond Zero is a simple truth: dignity, safety, and respect must be guaranteed for those who serve and those they serve.⁣
⁣
The National Conference on Workplace Protection in the Public Sector is a pivotal step translating  evidence to action, strengthening systems, protecting frontline workers, and building environments where women, families, and communities can truly thrive.⁣

Through the leadership of Kenya School of Government's Institute for Gender and Social Development, we continue to advocate for a future where safe and decent workplaces are foundational to better health outcomes for all.⁣

Getting ready for a vaccination can come with big feelings.
Children are curious by nature so taking the time to prepare them, and yourself, before vaccination can make a big difference.
Here are some tips on how you can support them.

More children now live to celebrate their first birthday and then go on to learn, work, raise families and grow old — than at any other time in history.

Your decision makes a difference. #VaccinesWork

Timing matters for vaccines. Here’s why...

Early detection remains critical in the fight against cancer, enabling timely treatment and significantly improving survival outcomes. Today marked the successful completion of a two-day free breast and cervical cancer screening and awareness outreach by the Beyond Zero Initiative in partnership with the Embu County Health Department at Rukuriri Dispensary and Rukuriri Primary School in Embu County.

The strong turnout reflected a growing awareness and willingness among young girls and women to take charge of their health through preventive care.

The outreach aligns with Kenya’s national goal of eliminating cervical cancer by 2030, as outlined in the Cervical Cancer Elimination Action Plan (2025–2030), and complements the broader aspirations of Kenya Vision 2030 and the World Health Organization’s 90-70-90 elimination targets.

Beyond Zero, in partnership with the Embu County Government, is bringing free breast and cervical cancer screening closer to residents of Ugweri and surrounding areas.

Take the step. Get screened. Make it part of how you show up for yourself.
