Join us for the National Civil society Actors Summit convened by @cff_kenya as we reflect on how to strengthen civil society Actors to work together towards an accountable government #ProtectCivicSpace
Dates :16-17th Nov
The organisers of this summit have also invited progressive minds and allies in the human rights space – His Excellency @HKindikii as the guest speaker and other powerful speakers who continue to advance and accelerate human rights in Kenya! #ProtectCivicSpace
Over the next two days, I will be joining this summit being convened by different organisations that work on civil rights in Kenya to understand how CSO actors can strengthen an accountable government. I will be highlighting some of the key take-away pointers. #ProtectCivicSpace
Despite these overall gains, recognition, and support by #international and #national#law, the work of civil society organizations and #Hrds continues to be a dangerous and precarious affair to #ProtectCivicSpace.
Those committed to restoring #justice and human #dignity anchored in the #constitution continue to operate in an environment marred with threats,harassment, arbitrary arrests, reprisals, extra judicial killings and enforced disappearances in their quest to #ProtectCivicSpace
Gear up folks for a two- day #CivilSocietyActorsSummit happening from tomorrow. This event is spearheaded by civil society actors under the auspices of Civic Freedoms Forum to #ProtectCivicSpace.
