Girls Not Brides Kenya

Girls Power! 💪 The Youth Advisory Panel Her Future, Her Right means girls power to choose. By raising their voices and challenging harmful norms, girls are leading the fight to end child marriage because their future is a right, not a privilege. #HerFutureHerRight

🌍 #EndingChildMarriage Investing in adolescent girls and young mothers is transforming communities in Kenya 🇰🇪 Through #100DaysOfAction, participants gained knowledge, challenged harmful norms and committed to speak up to stop child marriage. A future free of child marriage.

Today in @Embu014, we didn't just launch a chapter, we sparked a movement. In partnership with @AFGMBoard we brought young people together to speak openly about FGM, the reality that it still exists, often hidden, still threatening the health, dignity, and future of girls. But we also focused on what can change that story. Through honest conversations, awareness, and shared purpose, we strengthened one goal: ending FGM through youth-led advocacy, community engagement, and education. Embu youth stepped forward as champions of change ready to challenge harmful norms, start conversations in their spaces, and protect girls. Because change is most powerful when it comes from within the community. This movement cannot stand alone. We call on CSOs, partners, county governments, and male allies to walk with us, amplify these efforts, support grassroots action, and invest in solutions that center young people. Today was the beginning. The work continues. #KataaKatishaZuiaUkeketaji #EndFGM #YouthChampions

Youth voices are not just part of the conversation, they are driving the movement to end FGM. When young people speak up, challenge harmful norms, and advocate for girls’ rights, change becomes possible. Awareness grows. Silence breaks. Communities begin to listen. One voice can start a conversation. Many voices can end FGM. ✊🏾 #KataaKatishaZuiaUkeketaji.

Childhood is for learning, not marriage. 📚🚫 This #IWD2026, we #GiveToGain. By keeping girls in school and protected, we gain a stronger economy and a future where every woman can lead. Ending child marriage is an investment in a world that thrives. #EndChildMarriage #IWD

Young People’s Participation at the African Regional Convening Towards Women Deliver 2026. Read more girlsnotbrides.org/articles/young… @GirlsNotBrides #EndChildMarriage #WomenDeliver2026

Today we share key learnings and advocacy wins strengthened youth & girls’ leadership, engagement of men, women & government, amplifying our collective voice to #EndChildMarriage. We reflect on progress, align priorities & our reaffirm commitment.

The African Regional Convening Towards Women Deliver 2026 advanced feminist priorities and SRHR advocacy. MEK is applying these insights to strengthen girl-led leadership and urges partners to invest in girl-centered advocacy in Kuria and beyond. @WomenDeliver @SonkeTogether

Ending FGM starts with women. In Kuria, @UNICEFKenya visit highlighted that 90% of cases stem from women’s decisions shaped by deep cultural norms.Empowering women&communities to choose differently protects girls and secures safer futures. #FreeFGM2030 @TheFiveFound @agywrnetwork

We kick off a 2-day co-creation workshop with Girls Not Brides Kenya regional leads, focused on reviewing and validating governance documents, sharing knowledge and co-developing a strong work plan to drive action to #EndChildMarriage 📸 @Njoroge_Dennis2

Well said. Being a girl doesn’t automatically make SRHR facilitation easy. What makes the difference is training, confidence, and the right tools, exactly what this initiative is creating at the grassroots.

There’s a myth that being a girl means you can easily lead #SRHR talks. @lolojuval challenged this by building facilitation skills, confidence & tools for young women to lead safe, informed, inclusive grassroots SRHR conversations. #SafeSpaces #SRHREducation

We are excited to announce that Zamara Foundation has officially received Observer Status with the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child @acerwc 🎉🎉 This recognition comes at a time when children’s rights, especially those of adolescent girls, young mothers, and marginalized children, demand bold, feminist, and accountable leadership. Through this platform, we look forward to contributing to regional dialogues, strengthening accountability, and amplifying community-rooted advocacy that places children’s dignity, agency, and wellbeing at the center. We are deeply grateful to our partners, allies, and communities who continue to walk this journey with us. This win belongs to all of us🥳 #ZamaraVoices

@Chesok_Staicy @GNBKenya Go Go staicy 🎉 keep doing lords work were proud of your achievements

A key highlight was on focus on youth capacity assessment recognizing youth strengths, gaps, and potential to ensure advocacy efforts are informed, inclusive, and impactful. When youth are meaningfully engaged, solutions become more sustainable.

@GNBKenya @GirlsNotBrides @acerwc @OrchidProject Exactly! Evidence is key,without it, our efforts against child marriage, FGM, and teenage pregnancy would just be words. Data turns our advocacy into action.

I am grateful to be part of today’s learning session with @GNBKenya. Beyond the overview of GNB Kenya’s vision, mission, and core values, the session deepened our understanding of the drivers of child marriage and the critical role young people play in addressing them.

Prof. Samuel Kimani highlights the power of data in youth advocacy against child marriage, FGM & teenage pregnancy in Kenya. It strengthens credibility, reveals hidden issues & drives evidence-based advocacy that shapes policy & real change. #DataForChange #EndChildMarriage
