Without pensions or support, many older people in rural #Kenya struggle to meet basic needs. Expanding #SocialProtection is key to ensuring access to healthcare, food & financial security.

Our study explores the barriers they face & some recommendations. https://t.co/9oTCHGBJ0H

Of course, there is the other side in the effort to ##EndFemicideKE ##EndFemicide, the males. Decide to end the cycle of violence against women and girls by not being a perpetrator yourself. #16daysofactivism2024
