At a time when anti-rights mobilization, family disputes, and unfair evictions continue to create risk for the GSD community and allied human rights defenders, community-based protection matters more than ever. #FromRiskToResilience | #CommunityProtection

#ThursdaysInBlack ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’œโœŠ๐Ÿพ 10,581. Let that number sink in. That is the number of missing children ripped from Kenyan homes over the last 15 months. These are not just figures on a report. #EnoughIsEnough #StopTheKillings #EndFemicideKE #ProtectOurChildren

These are empty beds, frantic parents, and futures stolen far too soon. Combine that with the reality of women being murdered week in, week out, and it becomes clear: violence against the vulnerable is escalating, and we cannot afford to normalize it. >>>

Today we say "Enough is Enough." โŒ For the children lost every single day. โŒ For the women murdered week in, week out. โŒ For the women & children whose lives are reduced to daily statistics. โŒ For the futures stolen by relentless SGBV.

While regressive, anti-rights machinery continues to threaten civic spaces and human dignity across Africa, Kenyaโ€™s judiciary has held the line. This High Court judgment is a monumental triumph for institutional accountability and constitutional supremacy. #LegalRecognitionKE

#ThursdayInBlack Letโ€™s be honest, when someone is being harassed, mocked, or threatened because of how they express their gender or who they love, walking away silently isnโ€™t minding your business. Itโ€™s a vote for the status quo. #SpeakUp

..don't matter enough to speak up for. That silence creates a heavy, isolating environment that breaks people down from the inside out. This Thursday, We are challenging the culture of passive bystander. Solidarity isnโ€™t a quiet feeling; itโ€™s a vocal stance.
