Did you know that some parents still prefer to take their sons to school as opposed to taking their daughter(s)?

Our discussion today focuses on Girl Child, even as we join the world in celebrating International Day of the girl

Janet Mbugua Ndichu: I am proud that there are now more girls being enrolled in schools but there is still cultures yet to adopt this #DayBreak

[Equal Measures 2030 @Equal2030]

Here's the situation:

👉🏾 not enough girls are completing their secondary education
👉🏾 employers aren’t hiring enough women in some jobs esp. STEM roles

📢 This needs to change!

Yasmin Mohamed, Mentor Kibra safe space: In Kibra, there girls who miss school because of lack of sanitary towels. Some parents see it as a taboo to talk about menstruation and this in turn forces girls to exchange sexual favors for sanitary towels #DayBreak

[FEMNET @FemnetProg]

Today, 7th October marks World Day for Decent Work. We as FEMNET are joining in the agenda of promoting global awareness against precarious working condition and the need for decent work for women.

No work is too small to be decent! #WomenatWorkCampaign #WDDW19

We are saddened by the death of Jackline, a student who committed suicide for being mocked by her teacher for soiling her uniform. No girl should commit suicide due to menstrual period stigma #EndPeriodPoverty

Girls and Women with disabilities are often secluded in sexual and reproductive health education. Stay tuned to SignsTV this Saturday from 8pm to 9pm as we unpack this conversation with girls with disabilities in informal settlements #AbilityProject

[Women Matter @PreciousPeriods]

No Girl should miss school for lack of sanitary pads. Unfortunately this is a norm in the schools in informal settlements and rural areas. We continue to collect sanitary pads in our mission to keep girls in schools

She is young.
She is fearless.
She is taking action to protect our planet.

We all should learn from @GretaThunberg:

[Women Matter @PreciousPeriods]

Happy to have contributed in this noble course. Menstrual Hygiene is a Human Right and no girl should be left behind in this sensitization exercise #ItsTimeForAction

[MenstrualHygieneDay @MHDay28May]

Our #Action4MHeducation initiative saw over 300 organisations pledge to collectively reach 41.4 million girls with #MHM education in 2019. We're currently sharing their individual commitments, so please like, retweet and give them a round of applause! 👏 #ItsTimeForAction

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

On #WomensEqualityDay, I'm proud of all the women and girls who are out there empowering others in their communities to make their voices heard. Thank you all for the work you’re doing, and I hope you'll share your story with @USOWomen and @WhenWeAllVote!

[Women Matter @PreciousPeriods]

We believe in progressive steps. So far @SafaricomPLC has done well matters gender equality, disability inclusion and corporate responsibilities. We are hopeful they are keen on equal pay too as they have invested in decent work environment

[Miss Oneya @FaithOneya]

@PreciousPeriods Yes...but so far the article says nothing about equal pay. I hope that is implied. Because this is just scratching the surface.

[Women Matter @PreciousPeriods]

Balanced for better #SDG5

[Miss Oneya @FaithOneya]

Congrats Safaricom, this no mean feat! But what about pay? It would be great news if the two were in tandem.

Children in informal settlements are highly exposed to sexual assaults during school holidays. The perpetrators use ploys like sweets to lure them. It is important to keep the children safe and engage them in meaningful activities @slumchildfound @UNICEFKenya @tdh_ch @PlanKenya

[Women Matter @PreciousPeriods]

Is access to quality education equal for girls from informal settlements and rural areas? @DaughtyOtieno @GP_Kenya @FemnetProg @AkiliDada @UNICEFKenya #TransformingEducation
