This is so so heartbreaking 💔

"Yesterday I saw news circulating in the social media platforms indicating that an officer had been lynched at Embobut and the body partially torched using a mattress, knowing that you're stationed at Maron, Marakwet East I tried calling your number to confirm who the person was but your phone went unanwered little did I know that infact you were the victim. You died doing your job and your only mistake was to rescue 6 girls who had just undergone the illegal cut(FGM). We were enlisted in the same year to the police and you replaced me at Kocholwo Police Post, Keiyo South when I was moved to Chebororwa, Marakwet West. To the friends and family back in Wundanyi, Taita recieve my hearfelt condolences. Go well Aboo, we'll meet in the beautiful gardens one day. RIP Cpl Lleytton Boma,"

Do No Harm: This means thinking about the rights
and best interests of each member of the client unit, and
making sure that the approach or practice is in their best
interest and does not make the situation worse.

Forced marriage: This is any marriage conducted without the full consent of both parties and where duress is a factor. Child marriages often include some element
of force.

As ever, those paying the biggest price of such policies are the most marginalized women and girls.

It is extremely troubling to see the recent roll-backs on fundamental legislation in many parts of the world, underpinned by the renewed obsession with controlling and limiting women’s decisions over their bodies and lives,

Debates around such policies have been marked by attacks on, or a disregard for, the evidence that shows the harmful consequences on the lives of women and girls, and on society as a whole.
