Some key lessons included:
✅ Put the person first, not the disability
✅ Speak directly to the person, not their companion
✅ When communicating with a deaf person, face them, speak clearly, and use sign language interpretation where available

During comunity dialogues in Lugari and Likuyani, participants learned about disability etiquette.

An inclusive society is one where persons with disabilities are treated with dignity, respect, and equality.

Harmful practices like FGM & child marriage push women & girls with disabilities out of digital spaces—stealing their voice, rights & opportunities. It’s time to challenge stigma and empower them to thrive online.

[CDPOK-Consortium of Disabled Persons Organizations @CDPOKConsortium]

Kenyan women & girls with disabilities face vile online abuse like “huyu hawezi nyonga”—this is sexual violence, not jokes. It silences, stalks, and intimidates. Let’s report, block, and uplift. Together we end it.

CDPOK joined other organisations to mark the International Day of Democracy.

Democracy is only real when persons with disabilities are fully included—from accessible voting to leadership roles.

Nothing about us without us.
