Access to information is more than access to news—it's access to opportunity, accountability, and participation. A well-informed public is essential to democracy, transparency, and justice.

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Importantly, on-camera questions must never ask survivors to reconstruct the scene of the crime or the trauma they've gone through

[Journalists for Human Rights-🇰🇪 @JHRKenya]

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Trauma-Informed Interviewing is critical for journalists. Instead of asking, "How did it feel?" which forces the survivor to relive the emotion, ask: "What do you want people to understand about this experience?" This shifts their brain from the fear and memory to the agency.

Human rights reporting should not only center institutions and authority—it should amplify the lived realities of the people directly affected.

[Journalists for Human Rights-🇰🇪 @JHRKenya]

When gender rights are protected, communities become stronger, safer, and more inclusive for all.

Madaraka Day reminds us that the measure of a free nation is how it treats its most vulnerable. We stand with human rights defenders, journalists risking their safety to tell the truth, survivors, and communities still fighting to be seen.

To address this, a community-driven innovation is transforming the lives of intersex persons in Kenya. InclusiFit is a menstrual boxer designed to affirm identity and restore dignity. This story reminds us that period dignity is for everyone.

In this year's Menstrual Hygiene Day, our Ag Country Manager Mercy Njoroge shone a light on a reality often not talked about - menstraul hygiene for intersex persons. Society's perceptions on biological functions should not stand in the way of people's rights to exist.

[ARTICLE 19 Eastern Africa @article19eafric]

Democracy thrives when journalists can work without fear of reprisal or unlawful arrest. We stand with the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, Hon. Ourveena Geereesha Topsy-Sonoo, in demanding safe, open environments for Africa's media practitioners
