Easy access to sanitary towel is still a need and an emergency that's needs attention. No girl should have a hard time accessing pads during her menses @NivalishePadKe @NEPHAKKENYA @wofakkenya @KenyaSRHR @Aidsfonds_intl @ypluskenya @Alfajiri5 @MoyoteKenya #COVIDisRealKe

We are so privileged to host @MeTAKenya2018 in Narok today to see possibilities of making existing YFCs functional to address youth needs.
Today we visited @narokcountygovt youth empowerment centres. There is need to make existing YFCs functional enough to meet the SRH needs of the youth. These centers should be fit for purpose for the reason they were set up and provide SRH services, commodities and information.
We need to re-evaluate our attitude, social and Value towards Violence Against Children inorder to guarantee a successful #EndViolenceAgainstChildrenKe

Tolerating hurtful treatment from a partner weakens self-esteem + confidence, makes one hostage to their control, and exacerbates emotional abuse. #spotitstopit #GBV @GBVnet @EmthonjeniWomen @ConcernsWomen @totocentre @coact1325 @ComfortStream @advc_zim

Women are world's power house 💪 Workers in healthcare professions at the forefront of the
COVID-19 response, 70 per cent of whom are women, and face multiple risks to their health, wellbeing, and safety.
It is important to hold discussions with stakeholders like HCWs, religious leaders and youth champions during implementation of activities. They are the custodians of knowledge in the community #communityhealth #covid19

In supporting survivors of GBV our response should always be informed by their experience. If not our intervention is compromised + more dangerous. #GBV #DV #SGBV @ConcernsWomen @GBVnet @usikimye @RiseAgainstGBV @AbuseFathers @GBVMustFall @totocentre @esther_aoko @eacsof_kenya
