The Social Justice Movement strongly condemns the growing attacks against civil society organizations, human rights defenders, and citizens exercising their constitutional rights. The violent disruption of public forums discussing the 2026/2027 national budget is a dangerous attack on democracy, public participation, and freedom of expression.

Freedom of assembly and speech are constitutional rights that must be protected. Citizens have the right to engage in civic discussions, question government policies, and participate in budget-making processes without intimidation or violence.

The continued attacks on the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), including last year's invasion of its offices by suspected pro-government goons, remain a serious concern. The government's silence and failure to ensure accountability create the impression that such violence is being tolerated.

As we approach the 2027 elections, shrinking civic space should alarm every Kenyan. Democracy thrives through dialogue, not intimidation.

The government has NO clear long‑term plan for nuclear waste in Siaya. Imagine toxic waste leaking into our soil & water, putting our children at risk of cancer & lifelong health problems. @KenGenKenya @nuclearkenya #CommunityVoiceMatter #ProtectSiaya

[Research Committee of the Social Justice Centre @SJWGResearch]

Kenya's got Solar power like Olkalou's 50MW plant, wind farms like Nguru Hills, and geothermal in Naivasha are working wonders. Invest in these, not risky nuclear in Siaya. @KenGenKenya @nuclearkenya @social_wg #CommunityVoiceMatter #ProtectSiaya #RejectSiayaNuclearPlant

We urge the national and county government to provide full details on the proposed nuclear power plant in siaya. Communities have the right to know the environmental, social, and health impacts.

Community led documentation is transforming advocacy when grassroots movement collects and manages their own data power shifts towards the people

[Social Justice Centres Working Group @UhaiWetu]

The new data toolkit will focus on key areas of social justice: Gender-Based Violence (GBV), police brutality, Article 43 (access to essential services), and women's rights. It’s a step toward better advocacy and impactful policy change. #DataDrivenAdvocacy

Accurate human rights data helps policymakers understand the real challenges communities face and respond with informed solutions.

[DM @Unbowed_Voice]

For too long, the realities of our communities have been ignored or underreported. With this system, we are saying clearly that our communities can produce their own data, tell their own stories, and build evidence for justice.
