Imagine losing a mother or a newborn to a preventable cause — a wife, a sister, a neighbour. The newly launched Inter-County MPDSR Initiative is designed to stop these avoidable losses and strengthen accountability across counties. https://t.co/uRcPR5JebF

Seriously, we are a sick generation.

A generation full of greed.

A generation that produces nothing but steals billions.

A generation that has no value for life.

A generation that has no shame, no integrity.

A generation that must give way for a reset.

TFGBV is a growing threat, using digital tools to harass, stalk, and harm victims. It’s not just online—it can escalate to real-world violence. Let’s stand against this abuse, support victims, and push for stronger protections! @AmrefICD #TechAgainstGBV @OdhiamboOlela
