Standing in solidarity today.
The Nubian Rights Forum joined fellow civil society organizations at the press briefing to condemn the escalating intimidation, harassment, and attacks against The Institute for Social Accountability (TISA), its Executive Director, staff, and the broader civic space in Kenya.
We are among the 183+ signatories of today’s joint press statement demanding an immediate end to state-sponsored surveillance, raids, and violence against human rights defenders. The Constitution protects our right to speak truth to power and we will not be silenced.
Nubian Rights Forum today hosted Uhaki Radio Show and discussed The Environment and Land Court ruling which upheld the allocation of 288 acres in Kibra to the Kibra Nubian Community Land Trust ruling the process lawful, transparent, and in line with public participation requirements.
Our team broke down the judgment, its legal significance, and what this victory means for the Nubian community’s fight against historical land injustices. Thank you to everyone who listened, called in, and engaged with us live! Your voices and questions made the discussion richer.
The journey to legal identity starts at birth, yet millions of children across the continent remain invisible to the systems meant to protect them. In this edition of the Nubian Rights Forum Newsletter, we dive deep into the critical intersection of birth certification and digital ID systems. Read how we are advocating for inclusive documentation that ensures no child is left behind

How do you prove you belong to a country that refuses to give you an ID?
The Nubian community @NubianRights was told to gather 100,000 signatures to fight for their identity rights, but you can’t sign a petition without an ID in 2011.

There is #NoExcuse for online abuse
Online and digital spaces should empower women and girls. Yet every day, for millions of women and girls, the digital world has become a minefield of harassment, abuse, and control.
What can start small, on screens – a message, a comment, or a post – can quickly spiral into a torrent of threats and violence in real life. Private photos are stolen without consent. Lies spread in a matter of seconds. Locations are tracked. AI is weaponized to create deepfakes designed to shame and silence women.
This 16 Days of Activism (25 November – 10 December) join us as we rally for a world where technology is a force for equality – not harm.
Human Rights Day reminds us that dignity, equality, and justice are not privileges, they are rights. At Nubian Rights Forum, we stand with marginalized communities to ensure no one is left behind.

Yah Allah, protect Sudan and its people.
Bring peace where there is pain, unity where there is division, and hope where there is despair.
Shower Your mercy upon this land.

Maisha Namba links your ID to your health, school, tax, and even financial information. It basically becomes one system that tracks your entire life. Yet the government did not conduct a data protection impact assessment.
