Ending GBV requires more than conversations it requires women and girls leading the solutions.
This week in Nairobi, feminist leaders and women-led organizations are convening for Women and Girl-Led Advocacy: Learning and Action to End Gender-Based Violence, including Harmful Practices.

Through the WVL project, CREAW’s learning brief highlights how off-tarmac Women’s Rights Organizations drive change at the grassroots.
Deeply rooted in their communities, these organizations work with limited resources but use flexibility, innovation and trust to reach marginalized women and girls, strengthen local responses to GBV and amplify impact beyond their size. Investing in grassroots WROs leads to lasting, community-led change.

The #PWDAct2025 gives full effect to Article 54 of the Constitution.
That means persons with disabilities now have enforceable rights across every sector; education, healthcare, transport, employment, and politics. #RightnotWelfare
