"As a humming bird my concern is about the lack of representation in the Lands Board that makes decisions on transfer and ownership, it is male dominated. In my community women are not involved in land discourse and decisions" Hellen Nkaissery #WomenandLand @awscwil @awsc_uonbi

As a woman leader I have been involved both in research around women and land rights especially from Kajiado County, the County was inspired by Wangari Maathai's resolve and struggle to reclaim and conserve land which is a source of food security #womensempowerment

[UON WEE HUB @wee_hub]

As you travel you get bewildered at how much land degradation has taken place forgetting issues of security, as we harvest old trees, lets plant more trees. A highlight is having women provide leadership and being persistent #Women_in_Leadership #GenderJustice

“GBV is not a statistic.
It’s a life. A future. A voice that should have mattered.”

Young people are too often excluded from decisions that shape their lives. But when young women are trusted, empowered, and organised, real change becomes possible.

From Botswana, a call for solidarity, shared responsibility, and a national GBV framework that delivers justice for all women and girls.

✊🏽 Strength in numbers.
💜 Power in collective action.
