Education Cannot Wait's education in emergency response to the #COVID19 pandemic includes water and sanitation facility upgrades in schools and learning centers as a first line of defense.
This year we mark 10yrs since we promulgated our constitution and the Greedy regimes have refused to implement it.They now want to make changes that suit their interests.We shall not allow the defilement of our Katiba #TekelezaKatiba#SabaSabaMarchForOurLives
SGBV is also one of the key drivers in all these issues, we should speak out and condemn this act for it leads to early child marriage, teenage pregnancy, HIV.

Child marriage in our communities, has also a great impact in teenage pregnancy, how best can we handle this, especially within the cultural communities?
#youthInclusionInSRHR#youthAddressingSRHR
Young people should be educated on the dangers of engaging in sexual behavior before marriage.
STI's, Teenage Pregnancies, missed education opportunities and so on.

@InerelaKenya It has a role to enhance increased access to comprehensive sexuality education curriculum implementation in our schools as well as finance training of teachers.... Just a tip of the iceberg
@InerelaKenya Teenage pregnancy were their long before, Covid has just brought to the limelight the problem. I think the missing link is on information access. In our hoods and households sexrelated topics aren't much talked about. And with th
GBV cases such as rape and FGM plays a pivotal role in escalating the problem further. And in some communities girls are given out asform of wealth to caution family against hunger. There are numerous vices deeply rooted in our hoods
We continue to speak out and condemn any form of violence.
There is always room for dialogue, let's take action by stopping and reporting these crimes.
Just IN🤦🏽♀️
KENYA: 4 girls (aged between 8 and 12) who underwent #FGM in Gitugi Village, Embu County, have been discharged from hospital and taken to a safe house for psychosocial support.
The cut was done by a retired nurse; they'll join their 3 cousins who were rescued from FGM!
Amid #COVID19 lockdown, reports of violence against women & girls forced to shelter in place with abusers are exploding. We call on every nation to implement evidence-based interventions. We stand for lives free from violence. We stand with the missing & murdered women. #RedShoes
Earlier today in partnership with VNEP,the Kenya red Cross and
garissa health workers we did a medical outreach at Hyuga girls in a series of targeting the less vulnerable communities especially those who were displaced by the floods.
#COVID19KE
The more we speak about FGM, the more people get the courage to share their stories.
Let us build the confidence of survivors and those who escaped the cut.
I’m sure living with community stigma is not easy, living with pain of being is even worse!

"When you’re buying pads, don’t hide them. Everyone knows periods are something."
@OfficialJMbugua campaigns against period poverty, and holds 'period parties' for women to have honest & open discussions about periods. We joined one of them.
