When Malala perfectly sums up our work!
Girls’ education champion and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has acknowledged the environmental benefits of slowing #populationgrowth. In a 2021 panel discussion at Chatham House on the role of #girlseducation in #climateaction, she stated:

What has happened to funding for international family planning? Funding for international family planning programs has stalled, while the number of women in need of contraception keeps growing. Why aren’t governments prioritizing it?

Funding for international #familyplanning has stalled while the number of women needing #moderncontraception grows. Empowering women to choose if and when to get pregnant is key to human rights and benefits all development areas. So why aren’t governments prioritizing it?

Abortion bans are enabled by the myth that if you need an abortion there are exceptions for your desperate circumstances. But there is no “me exception.” We all deserve safety, empathy and consideration. And that requires decriminalizing abortion throughout pregnancy for everyone.

Every girl deserves to grow up safe, healthy, and be empowered, but Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) continues to rob millions of their rights, dignity, and futures.

Today, as we fight against this harmful practice, we stand united to protect the rights of our girls .
#CommunityVoices #United2EndFGM

✊🏻

🤝 We stand in solidarity with environmental NGOs facing unjust attacks in the EU! The EU must protect civil society organizations and human rights defenders by ensuring stable funding and political support. Now is the time to stand up for those defending our planet and democracy.

White text on a deep pink background reads "We will not be silenced. We will march on, together."

Our movement is global, unshakable and united. Alongside FIGO, @msichoices.org @shedecides.bsky.social & @internationalmidwives.org we call on governments and donors to step up, listen to grassroot communities and protect life-saving care. Denying healthcare and counselling services is not an option

Blocking funding and shutting down USAID means stripping life-saving care, including access to contraception, HIV/AIDS, and maternal health services, leaving millions without the means to make informed choices about their health and well-being. 💔

Honored to stand alongside so many yesterday to advocate for the protection of foreign aid and the critical health care it provides at the Rally to Restore Foreign Aid Now. 🫂

Female Genital Mutilation(FGM) hurts women and girls.

It has adverse health, social, and economic consequences.

We must all come together to end this menace.

We urge the government to strengthen Social Health Insurance for timely, quality cancer care !

The National Cancer Control Strategy 2023-2027 should be refined to ensure accessible care for Kenyans. No one should suffer or die due to unaffordable treatment.

#CommunityVoices

In Kenya Cancer is the 3rd killer disease, the most affected are often marginalized groups & Especially those living hand to mouth and struggling to access even basic quality healthcare.

#CommunityVoices

United by Unique!

Health is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

On this World Cancer Day, we reaffirm that cancer care should be universally accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of their background or financial status.

#CommunityVoices

We must act to protect the lives of women and girls!

We urge every individual, every institution, and every leader to take a stand and call this illegal act out.

Systems need to be strengthened to ensure perpetrators are held into account!

#CommunityVoices #SautiZetu #BilliNowNow

We call for collective voices and actions to #EndFemicideKe

Kenya has several articles, including articles 26,27,28,29, and 48 of the constitution that highlight the protection of life , security, safety, and any form of violence towards men and women.

Protect women!
#CommunityVoices #BilliNowNow

Silence is not an option!

In just three weeks, 12 women across Kenya have lost their lives to femicide.

These are not just statistics. These are real people, human beings. They are our sisters and mothers.

#CommunityVoices #SautiZetu #BilliNowNow

True collaboration begins with a vision

This week's meeting with #PEISProject partners brought clarity to ours

We discussed our goals for this year of strengthening community public engagement infrastructure in the areas of healthcare, food systems, and climate change

#CommunityVoices #ZeroHunger

As the assault on #reproductiverights intensifies, #SheDecides remains unwavering in its mission to champion sexual and reproductive health and rights for all – including access to #safeabortion.

As we brace ourselves for the Global Gag Rule under Trump 2.0, Ipas DRC director Dr. Jean-Claude Mulunda was clear when speaking to Salon: the policy will cause harm, especially to young women who are victims of rape, incest and child marriage. @salonnewsroom.bsky.social bit.ly/3PGcbRI

Early this month, the county government of Kiambu cleared bills for over 50 women who had given birth and were unable to pay their dues

#CommunityVoices with our limited resources have had to seek support last minute for women who needed emergency healthcare.

Healthcare should not be charity

We must Act to save the lives of women

Kenya ranks among the highest globally in maternal deaths with about 594 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to USAID's 2024 report.

This means that the country is way behind in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG3) #CommunityVoices

We have a crisis!

The lives of women and girls from marginalized communities are the collateral damage.

They are paying for not having

The impacts of hard economic situations coupled by international and national policy changes is costing the lives of women

We must Act!
