A GBV specialist who’s concerned with the well being of women, children and the marginalized. Stop Gender Based Violence. Women are human beings too.

Did you know that children are also victims of domestic violence. On this month of DV, I choose to celebrate all the survivors of domestic violence including me who grew up in a family surrounded with violence. Bravo to all those who chose life.#DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

Women were born workers. If our work was to be given a monetary value from the beginning then we would have been the richest gender on earth.

Any practice with a lasting trauma performed to benefit another person it's a harmful practice.
#AgainstMyWill

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

Harmful practices against girls cause lasting trauma, robbing them of their right to reach their full potential in life.

Say #AgainstMyWill and join @UNFPA in defying the practices that harm women and girls and undermine equality: https://t.co/NcZvhqCDCF

Other diseases will kill us due to the stigma associated with covid even in our own hospitals. What about asthma patients who suffers congestion during cold weathers. What about patients with allergies or those with pneumonia. Must every disease be associated with covid? #COVID19

Beatrice Andega (Papa Shirandula’s wife): On Monday, I told him to go to hospital & have 3 tests done; Pneumonia, malaria & coronavirus as he was cold. His breathing started changing on Friday. Admission process at Karen Hospital was a process & he passed on in the car Saturday

1/2 COVID-19 has not only led to increased SGBV cases across the country, it has also reduced access to essential services such as forensic exams, medical treatment and psychosocial care for survivors. #endSGBV #WithHer #SafeSpaces

Kq lays off contracted employees which comprises more than 60% female staff who were working as cabin crew. Women have for a long time worked under low pay and them without work will be the reason why we’ll remain poor. #covid19kenya #GenderCritical

[Maureen Okondo @OkondoMaureen]

#COVIDー19 has drawn women back to doing work that isn’t beneficial to them. With children out of school women have a huge responsibility of taking care of them. We’re back from where we began @lucymitei @IdahKnowles #CovidEconomicImpactKE

[Maureen Okondo @OkondoMaureen]

It’s our health, it’s us who gives birth. Women must be allowed to decide with their reproductive health. It’s our own affair. In support of Kihika’s RH Bill.

Most of this girls come from poor family backgrounds. With school closure, lack of sanitary towels our girls are at risk of engaging in early sex.

[Maureen Okondo @OkondoMaureen]

With our schools closed due to pandemic, most of our young girls are not able to access sanitary towels from school. This means that girls are not able to hygienically contain the monthly flow. This means that our girls are at risk.

What will be the fate of women after covid-19? Women have always suffered even with a good economy. This pandemic will widen the gender gap even further. It's women who will loose a great deal with an economic fall.

[Maureen Okondo @OkondoMaureen]

My concern is with the People with low immunity who are seen as easy targets to the Covid-19 and are now scared of visiting the hospitals. This might expose them to more serious opportunistic infections
