Here are some ways we can #EmbraceEquity :
✔️Advocate for policies that promote gender equality & women's empowerment.
✔️Invest in women's health & well-being
✔️Address #GBV & discrimination
✔️Challenge & change gender norms that limit women's participation in all spheres of life
@NarokCountyGov1 @pushcampaignorg@NursesMidwife@NarokYouthPa@HealthNarok@KenyaSRHR@EACPamoja4SRHR@NCKenya @www_campaign We are working with youth networks and citizen journalists in Narok to advance advocacy for The National Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health Policy (NASRHP) at the sub-national level particularly on the provision of comprehensive youth friendly sexual reproductive services.
The day is about promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities at every level of society and development, and to raise awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of political,social,economic,and cultural life.

Everyone has to participate to the best of their ability, to achieve sustainable development. We join the world in celebrating the #IDPD2022,under the theme:'Transformative solutions for inclusive development; the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible & equitable world'
Disability is not inability..we should always put the rights and needs of PWDs first and ensure that they have an equal access to opportunities and positions

Poverty reduction, access to education and labour force participation are key to ending child
marriage. Opportunities for girls are fundamental to success. Join the campaign to END
CHILD MARRIAGE in your community. #16DaysofActivism#PowerToYouth
A girl who is married off at an early age has an increased risk of early pregnancy, domestic violence, STI's, depression and anxiety. She has reduced opportunities for education and employment. Child marriage is a human rights violation! #16DaysofActivism#PowerToYouth
Marriage below the age of 18 years is against the law. Younger people below this age have not developed the maturity and practical skills for a successful marriage and to make informed decisions. @Power2YouthKe#16DaysofActivism#PowerToYouth
Girls who marry before they turn 18 are less likely to remain in school! When girls are educated, they are empowered! RT if you agree that child marriage is a human rights violation that must end if we hope to realize gender equality #16DaysofActivism#PowerToYouth

GBV is violence directed against a person because of their gender or identity. GBV remains one of the most common human rights violations within all societies. Men and boys can choose to avoid violence and treat women and girls with respect. #16DaysofActivism#PowerToYouth
Less than 40% of the women who experience violence seek help of any sort. #PowerToYouth has been capacity building young people & communities on GBV reporting and referral systems, to increase their awareness of the existing policies and structures to end GBV. #16DaysOfActivism
Last 3 days have been super engaging as @UNFPAKen & @AFGMBoard hosted 80 Anti-FGM youths Activist across the country on #EndFGM Campaign. We had a series of capacity building sessions on Advocacy & Activism, Resource Mobilization, Movement building, Entrepreneurship etc.
Of those who have been in a relationship, almost 1 in 4 adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner. Ending Gender Based Violence requires a concerted effort from all sectors of society. #16DaysofActivism#PowerToYouth
Girls must be able to make their own decisions about their bodies and futures and have access to appropriate healthcare services and comprehensive sexuality education.
#stopteenagepregnancy
Great partnership between @UNFPAKen & @NCPD_Kenya to increase knowledge, expertise & resources available to #ICPD commitment implementation in Kenya. As #ICPD25YCLaunchKE is taking place, Youths are the centre place of its accountability.
It is crucial that the youth remain engaged in tracking #icpd25 achievement of key milestones as outlined in the county costed plan. Prioritizing youth-led accountability mechanisms is what we see in #Icpd25YCLaunchKe
