What does self-care really mean for women & girls? 🌿We asked women across Kenya. The reality? It is about dignity & health. Yet, structural barriers dictate if they actually can practice it.What does self-care mean to you? 👇#InHerLifetime #WhatWomenWant

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

When we asked 24,033 women & girls across 44 counties what self-care means, they redefined it: dignity, rest without guilt, peace of mind, clean water & stigma-free lives. Self-care is health care. #InHerLifetime #SelfCareIsARight #WhatWomenWant

#SelfCare

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

A healthy pregnancy begins before the first pregnancy test. Preconception care helps women prepare their bodies through proper nutrition, health check-ups, managing existing conditions, maintaining a healthy weight & staying physically active.

Happy New Month! ✨As we step into July, @WRA_K enters with a renewed commitment to tracking health budgets and demanding strict accountability. Every shilling, policy and promise must translate into safe, respectful care for every woman and newborn. 🇰🇪⚖️#HappyNewMonth

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

19 women die daily in Kenya from pregnancy complications & 92 newborns are lost before they begin. Access has expanded but it’s not enough. Barriers like poverty, transport costs & disrespect in care still cost lives. Lived experience is evidence. Are we listening ?

Accountability in healthcare means facing hard truths. This week, @WRA_K brought real community demands from scorecards directly to Baringo health leaders.
✅ Monthly EmONC training & weekly death audits active🚨 Missing 1,100 nurses; strikes strain midwives

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

Once communities score their health clinics, then what? We don’t sit on data! Yesterday, Baringo citizens presented their scorecards directly to county leaders to co-create solutions. True accountability means communities lead the talk! 🗣️🇰🇪#ListenReflectAct #WRAKenya

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

This week in Narok & Baringo, we’re convening accountability forums where communities, health workers & leaders come together to #Listen #Reflect #Act on #WhatWomenWant.
Progress in respectful maternity care is clear but gaps like vaccine stockouts & water shortages remain.

Health doesn’t exist in isolation. At the #10thEAPC, WRA_K asks: what happens when we start from abundance? 3.5M+ voices show health is linked to #livelihoods, dignity and power. Let's invest in trust and community solutions, not transactions. #AskListenAct

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

(The impact? An incredible mindset shift. Men are now stepping up as active allies, accompanying their wives to hospitals from the first ANC visit all the way to postnatal care. Safe motherhood is a shared responsibility! 🤝🇰🇪 #MenAsAllies #SafeMotherhood #WRAListens

[White Ribbon Alliance Kenya @WRA_K]

True maternal health equity cannot happen in a silo. For a long time, Reproductive, Maternal, & Newborn Health (RMNH) has been wrongly labeled as "a women's issue." But to save mothers, we must talk about men as allies. Here is why we are integrating men. 👇
