The forum attracted a strong turnout from residents across Kisumu County, who reviewed the Bill and made valuable recommendations on adolescent health, financing the Bill's implementation, cultural sensitivity, and equitable access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services within the law.
The County Assembly assured participants that all submissions will inform the next stages of the legislative process.
A strong legal framework begins with an informed and engaged public. We look forward to the Bill progressing to the next legislative stage.

Using the term "albinos" to describe persons with albinism reduces their identity to a single characteristic & may contribute to their objectification or marginalization. It is important to recognize & respect the individuality of each person by using the person-centred language.

By focusing on the person rather than the disability, People-first language helps reduce the stigma associated with disabilities. It contributes to broader social and cultural changes in how society perceives and interacts with people with disabilities. #personwithdisability

To #EndGBV, we need to listen to women and their diverse range of experiences. We need better co-operation with organizations representing women and girls, to better inform policies and legislation, including access to victim support systems and to justice. #MakeWayForHer
Available data indicates that gender-based violence #GBV affects women and girls with disabilities to much greater extents than most other women. #MakeWayForHer
