At The Trust Summit 2026, we learned that trust isn't what you say, it's what you do. From Nairobi to our screens, @DFHRC carried one message: young people aren't waiting for a seat. We're building the table. #TrustSummit2026

MEN NEED SPACE TO TALK, TOO.

You don't have to carry everything alone.

Honest conversations lead to stronger relationships and timely support.

Reaching out is strength.

Many men are taught to stay silent. That can change.

Safe spaces to talk, listen and seek support build healthier individuals, families and communities.

[Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW) @covaw]

A STEP TOWARDS JUSTICE, BUT IMPLEMENTATION IS KEY.
On 21 October 2026, Kenya’s National Assembly passed the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2023, seeking to strengthen public awareness of sexual offences and protect survivors’ right to education, including teenage mothers. This is a welcome step towards justice and equality.
At COVAW, we believe every woman and girl deserves dignity, safety, access to justice and the opportunity to fulfil her potential. Laws must translate into action. Survivors deserve protection, support and uninterrupted access to education, free from stigma and discrimination.
Justice must be more than words on paper.

FROM EVIDENCE TO ACCOUNTABILITY: KAMUKUNJI YOUTH ARE CLOSING THE SGBV GAP

869 teen pregnancies. 299 survivors <18. Only 56% of girls 10-17 reached care in 72hrs.

We joined 30+ orgs (90% youth-led) at PCEA Kariri to fix the referral chain.

Heroes don't always wear medals.

They sit with a struggling friend. They calm conflict before it grows. They speak up for SRHR. They protect our planet.

Exercise 🏊🏽‍♂️ helps #ageing muscles perform an important internal cleanup, making it easier for them to maintain healthy tissue and recover from damage.

Exercise does more than stimulate muscles 💪 to grow stronger. According to research findings, #physicalactivity can also help restore the cellular maintenance system that becomes disrupted during aging.

The researchers found that exercise activates regulatory proteins that reduce DEAF1 levels. This helps return mTORC1 activity to a healthier balance, allowing #muscle cells to remove damaged proteins while continuing to produce the new proteins they need.

A Case Brief on the recent High Court ruling (HSO & 3 Others v DPP & 6 Others, Petition No. 27 of 2020 [2026] KEHC 6906) on Consensual Adolescent Relationships in Kenya.

The High Court did declare the application of sections 8, 9 and 11 of the Sexual Offences Act to consensual, non‑coercive and non‑exploitative sexual conduct between adolescents of close age proximity as inconsistent with Articles 27, 28, 31, 43 and 53.

The court directed police and prosecutors to differentiate consensual peer relationships from coercion or exploitation, ordered the ODPP to gazette prosecutorial guidelines, required police protocols to be aligned with constitutional rights, and suspended two criminal cases involving consensual adolescent conduct. #AdolescentJusticeKE

A seed doesn't need permission to grow, just safe soil.

Girls are the same. Safe ground is built by everyone, and boys and men are allies, not bystanders. Protect, respect, speak up.

1/3 Cardiovascular disease has significant burden on our health system.

CVDs are the second leading cause of mortality in Kenya; 13% of total deaths and 25% of hospital admissions.

These are preventable, we can act on.
