@hawi_cbo It's important to establish proper boundaries, speak up whenever you face violence when you can and it's our responsibility to cease from normalizing violence.
At the household level, it's important to be sober enough in nurturing kids so that they don't live with trauma

Kenya is a vibrant and growing lower-middle income economy However, the benefits of growth are not being shared equally. It doesn't have to be this way. Our leaders could choose to follow
a different path. Today we delivered petitions to different governors across the country.

There is need for awareness creation on the Maputo protocol as a tool for advocacy and it's use in the fight for women and girls' rights in Kenya. African countries that have not signed and/or ratified the protocol should do so as well.
#ATeaSpoonOfChange#MaputoAt20
Maputo Protocol has been used to spearhead change for women's rights in Africa. Kenya is among the countries in Africa that ratified it. It addresses violence against women, harmful cultural practices, fgm, girls empowerment,rights of women living with HIV/AIDS etc. #MaputoAt20
@hawi_cbo its political, social economic ideology that advocates for the equal rights & opportunities for all sexes, with a specific focus on advancing women's rights. Feminism is about achieving gender equality, ending sexism & patriarchal structures that discriminate against women.
The word feminism has been used in different ways and with different meanings. Many people have in turn hated the word and not even want to be associated with it. Amongst all the different definitions lies the true meaning of feminism. Join us on July 4th as we debunk this jargon

Positive affirmations by oneself and from other people have immense impact on improving mental health. Like Barrack Obama said, "Yes We Can", we can, and we will improve our mental health.
#NajiaminiaProject#JoelOminoSecSchool
Najiaminia is birthed from a body of literature recognizing the increasing rate of mental health issues amongst the youth which are often underrated, undiagnosed, and untreated.
As we tackle root causes through a participatory approach, we aim to create awareness and bridge gaps.
A healthy mind is an asset. Protect it, build it and use it to influence others positively. Today we launched the Najiaminia Project at Joel Omino Secondary School. It's a mental health and peer counselors program

We ready 2023🥂.

Join the conversation and weigh in your thoughts. As the theme states it's time we united efforts towards the fight against GBV. #WGGkisumu#16DaysofActivism2022
