Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.

This @BBCAfrica documentary is heartbreaking and a serious indictment of systemic failure.

A failure by state institutions to protect the most vulnerable and to act swiftly and decisively.

Children as young as 12, are being trafficked, abused and discarded right here in Kenya!

Outrage is not enough. We need urgent justice and reform!

We demand all individuals and networks implicated in these trafficking rings be arrested and prosecuted! There should be zero protection for predators, regardless of their status.

If you must buy a newspaper, buy The Standard.

If you must subscribe to digital news, subscribe to @StandardKenya

If you must watch TV news, watch @KTNNewsKE.

If the government punishes them for telling the truth, let Kenyans reward them with loyalty.

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

Following the media reports by @StandardKenya and @KTNNewsKE over an alleged scheme to deploy hired goons against protestors, the @LawSocietyofKe sounds a stern caution of the potential detrimental impact of radicalizing youth for political expediency. National security is a function of our organs of National Security, which have the exclusive mandate to deal with and respond to any breach of peace or real threat to security. Every criminal insurgency begins with arming of youth and abusing them as agents of political repression, this cannot be the Kenyan story.

MY EVICTION STORY: A Story by Qassim Kariuki in Mathare
The video illustrates Qassim's eviction story. He narrates that in May 2024, heavy rains caused the government to issue short notices to people living near the river, including him. He had lived in Mathare for long.
