From the slopes of Nairobi’s largest dumpsite, wastepickers see what the world throws away—and what it chooses to ignore. On International Zero Waste Day 2026, their reality is a powerful reminder that waste is not just an environmental issue, but a human one.

📱✨ Safer digital spaces for women and girls.
🌍 This week, as we marked #IWD2026 celebrations at @AFKenya , partners, youth, policymakers and civil society organisations came together to address the growing challenge of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV).
🇫🇷 reaffirms its commitment to working alongside 🇰🇪 to ensure that digital progress translates into empowerment — not violence.
As digital access expands rapidly in Kenya, discussions highlighted how online harassment, sextortion and AI-generated deepfakes are increasingly impacting women and girls — and the urgent need for collective action.
🎤 The event featured a dynamic panel moderated by artist and influencer @MaandyKabaya , bringing together leading voices in the fight against digital gender-based violence:
• Carol Werunga, Senior Programme Manager at Urgent Action Fund–Africa
• Fridah Wawira, Executive Director at Coalition on Violence Against Women @covaw
• Tom Osborn, CEO and Co-founder of Shamiri Institute
Their insights underscored the importance of stronger protections, accountability mechanisms, and survivor-centred support systems.
🇫🇷🇰🇪 The evening also marked the launch of a new €811,000 initiative in Kenya supported by @AFD_France@AFD_en under the Feminist Organizations Support Fund and implemented with UAF-Africa and @covaw
This initiative will strengthen feminist civil society organisations working to combat online violence and ensure safer digital spaces for women and girls.
