Happy Madaraka Day

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

Femicide is the killing of women. It grows from abuse, control, and inequality. Prevention means protection, accountability, and action before another life is lost. Today, Kenyans marched against femicide, demanding action, justice, and protection for women.

We appreciate the warm reception extended to @WIIS_HoA President at NDU-K by Major General Joyce Sitienei.

Partnerships with defence institutions are key to advancing the WPS agenda in the Horn.
We look forward to continued collaboration.

New Report: Gender Responsive Climate Action in Kenya’s ASAL Counties

Across Kenya’s frontlines, women are already holding resilience together—managing water, livelihoods, and conflict under climate stress.

This report shows what must change.

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

We went to Kilifi, Kajiado, Wajir, Isiolo & Lamu.

Spoke to those living climate reality not theorizing it.
What we found challenges how resilience is understood and who is recognized within it.

Report drops soon.

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating. 🌙✨

A moment to reflect on peace, community, and the strength found in coming together.

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

What if the problem isn’t lack of climate policy…
but who is missing from it?

Across Kenya’s ASALs, women are doing the work.

But systems still overlook them.
We’ve been documenting this.

Coming soon. @theGCF

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

This is grounded in fieldwork across Kenya’s climate frontlines. More soon!

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

Something is coming 👀

Not another climate report.
A reality check from Kenya’s frontlines.

Women are already holding resilience together 🌍
The system just hasn’t caught up.
Stay close.

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

This is a good milestone. We look forward to working together.
#SistersWithoutBorders is amongst the first women's network. Thank you for adding some of our members into the event.

NCTC launches Kina Mama PCVE network in  #Busia County.

The  Kina Mama PCVE network is building national resilience by  equipping women and girls with skills to adrress vulnerabilities that drive youth into violent extremism.

As part of Kenya-@EUinKenya partnership, the initiative  empowers women as part of early warning systems; spotting risks, guiding families & communities.

Last week @WIIS_HoA joined 250+ women leaders at @NobelWomen’s Tea & Feminist Dialogue Nairobi during #RootedAndRising.

🌿✊ Inspired by Nobel laureates L. Gbowee, Ebadi & Matviichuk, we shared ideas on feminist leadership, #peacebuilding & #ClimateAction for a just future. 💚

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

We hosted visiting capstone students from @GWtweets @ElliottSchoolGW for a discussion on Gen Z civic movements and the gendered impacts of urban heat in informal settlements.

Conversations like this help bridge academic inquiry with regional experience.

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

Bridging divides, amplifying voices, and securing our shared future. Today we celebrate the women leading with resilience across the Horn of Africa. Together, we are a force for global stability.

Mid-week we joined a vital roundtable by @_CSVR & @UCDPolitics on the gender dimension of hunger in peacebuilding! 🌍🕊️

Proud to see the #GDHP project thriving with support from @ResearchIreland & @dfatirl. Food security is a pillar of peace! Hunger isn't gender neutral!

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

.@WIIS_HoA is a regional peace & security orgn strengthening women-led leadership, prevention, and cross-border coordination to shape how stability is understood and practiced across the Horn of Africa. Durable stability is built through institutions, trust, and practice.

The most important takeaway [Dayone]:

AI decisions are not technical choices alone—they are human ones.

Who designs, who benefits, and who is protected will define whether AI deepens inequality or expands opportunity in Africa.

At #NairobiAIForum 📌
@WIIS_HoA engaging in how AI can truly serve people, ecosystems, and economies.
This forum goes beyond talk: linking infrastructure, innovators, and policy for responsible, inclusive AI across Africa’s priority sectors. @UNDPKenya @ItalyinKenya

Wishing our partners, community and collaborators a successful year ahead!

[WIIS - HoA @WIIS_HoA]

As we closed off the 16 Days last week, @WIIS_HoA supported a Busia dialogue engaging men, partners, and government to confront digital violence and GBV against women.

Campaigns end. Accountability must not.
