On this International Day of the Girl Child, Women Spaces Africa amplifies the voices of girls with disabilities through grassroots organizing, reaffirming that equal opportunities matter and every girl deserves a chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
We held a meeting in Diani with women with disabilities on decision-making, bodily autonomy, and access to SRHR. Women with disabilities deserve to lead, choose, and decide — for themselves.

Behind every call, referral, conversation and act of support is a person giving their time, care and emotional energy.
Today, we look beyond the work to the people behind it; and the parts of their work that often go unseen.

At Milalani Primary Special Unit, Msambweni, Kwale, we equipped girl learners with disabilities with menstrual hygiene: clean products, regular changing, body cleansing, hand hygiene & safe disposal—no girl left behind.

We had a community dialogue with women with disabilities on:
1️⃣ Bodily autonomy
2️⃣ Decision-making power
3️⃣ Access to Sexual & Reproductive Health Rights
Because no one should have decisions made about their body without their voice.

Today in Kilifi, we declare it loudly: Deaf rights are human rights. For deaf women & girls, access to safety, health, & education is non-negotiable. We stand with the Kilifi Deaf Community. #deafawareness #humanrights #womenspacesafrica #kilifi

We were at Mwakigwena Primary Special Unit in Diani educating girls with disabilities on menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, and breaking the stigma. No girl with disability should be left in the dark about her own body.

In celebration of Deaf Awareness Month, we spent the day at Kidimu Deaf Junior Secondary
Menstrual education is usually auditory. For deaf girls, this creates a massive information gap.
Inclusion means:
✅ Sign Language Interpreters
✅ Visual resources
✅ accessible dialogue
Girls and young women with disabilities are not hidden, silenced, or married off—they are powerful agents of change.
Our sessions in Kwale are creating safe spaces for young women and girls with disabilities to learn, grow, and claim their rights.

Empowering 22 girls and young women with disabilities in Mtwapa! We tackled STIs, HIV prevention (abstinence & condoms), and busted myths that contraceptives are only for married people.
We also discussed the crucial steps to take after sexual violence—from immediate medical care to psychosocial support. Creating safe spaces for these conversations is key to breaking stigma.
Thanks to our peer educators for making SRHR info accessible and inclusive! #WomenSpacesAfrica #Inclusion #SRHR #HIVPrevention #DisabilityRights #Kenya

Reproductive freedom and voting rights are inseparable.
The people we elect shape our abortion laws and reproductive health care, and they appoint the judges who shape our freedoms.
Our ability to control our bodies depends on our ability to make our vote count.

Gathering changes everything. For girls and young women with disabilities, coming together means realizing: I am not alone. My voice matters. My body is mine. #powerofgathering #disabilityrights #womenspacesafrica
