Refugee women activists & women’s rights organisations in Kenya came together with the FHN, New Women Connectors & Development Transformations to co-create feminist approaches to climate data, analysis, & advocacy.
Those most affected by climate change must shape the solutions.

[Refugee Consortium of Kenya (RCK) @RCKKenya]

As #Kenya continues to strengthen #mentalhealth framework, the Mental Health (Amendment) Act, 2022 marks an important shift towards rights-based, accessible, and community-centered mental healthcare.

During a stakeholder engagement convened by RCK government representatives, partners and refugee stakeholders explored the provisions and practical implications of the Act within refugee-serving systems.

The session highlighted key reforms introduced under the Mental Health (Amendment) Act, 2022, including the integration of mental health services into primary healthcare under Section 3A, protection of the rights, dignity and freedom from discrimination of persons with mental illness under Section 3 and Section 3F, strengthened consent to treatment processes under Section 3B, confidentiality and protection safeguards, as well as the promotion of community-based mental health and psychosocial support services as provided under Sections 5 of the Act. Discussions also examined the rights of persons with mental illness to accessible, affordable and quality mental healthcare, after-care support, and participation in society free from abuse, exploitation and stigma. Participants were also charged with devising areas of collaboration between the County health officials

In addition, discussions focused on the importance of aligning institutional practices, referral pathways, and workplace wellbeing policies with the new legal framework to ensure inclusive and responsive support for #refugees, #asylumseekers, and host communities.

As the need for mental health and psychosocial support continues to grow within displacement settings, strengthening awareness and implementation of the Act remains critical in promoting protection, resilience, and wellbeing.

At @RCKKenya we are committed to advancing informed, rights-based, and people-centered mental health and psychosocial support systems.

We stand with communities in Venezuela impacted by the recent earthquakes & with FHN member PLAFAM who is providing critical healthcare, shelter, SRHR & more to especially women, girls & vulnerable groups.

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

We celebrate the power of living fully & the collective courage it takes to build a world where everyone can be, belong, & thrive.
At a time when gender diversity is facing increasing attacks, backlash, & erasure, we continue to resist & build. With boldness. With joy. With pride

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

Feminist solidarity carries us in this moment. Across the frontlines of crisis, women, girls, gender-diverse persons & women with disabilities are living through deep harm & deep resistance within the same systems of violence. We name it, hold it, & resist together for ALL of us.

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

We carry these reflections forward, as we pass the thread in our next session. #feministleadership #feministhumanitarians

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

This series is a space for our movement to pause, reflect & reimagine leadership rooted in feminist principles. This session challenged dominant norms of professionalism, reimagining leadership through matriarchal values of care, justice, & collective responsibility. #feminist

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

Thank you to everyone who showed up & shared space with us. To our FHN members who held the conversation as co-moderators & speakers, speaking so powerfully. For bringing your truth & clarity.
What was shared does not end here. We continue to organise, together. #WD2026 #feminist

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

On the sidelines of #WomenDeliver, we're co-hosting a roundtable with civil society voices across contexts to interrogate risk & what it would take to shift power for real. This conversation is strategy, resistance & collective reimagining.

"Risk" continues to be used to exclude Womens Rights Organisations, while their life-saving labour is being extracted. In this research lead by WROs, we have been listening, learning, & documenting to explore collective action for feminist transformation. #feministresearch

[The Feminist Humanitarian Network @FeministHumNet]

In our first Feminist Leadership in Crisis session, we heard powerful reflections on resilience, grief, and resistance.
We’re honoured to share a few words from FHN member Ohaila Shomar, Sawa Organization who led the session. #iwd2026 #feminist #feministhumanitarianaction

On International Women’s Day, we are reminded that climate action must also advance women’s rights.

@WREPNG, we believe that sustainable climate action must center women’s leadership, safety, and participation.

Happy International Women’s Day from WREP.💜
