We partnered with @NPSOfficial_KE to review the NPS standard Operating procedures (SOPs) on GBV. The process aimed to identify and incorporate emerging #GBV related issues in the SOPs and bridge existing gaps to promote survivor-centered response & enhance access to justice.

We held the final lap of a series of pre-#CSW70 activities in a charged roundtable convened in partnership with @unwomenkenya. The forum afforded participants an opportunity to interact with the highlights of Kenya Country Position Paper and receive updates on the status of the implementation of #CSW69 priority outcomes. CS @hannawcheptumo graced the consultative meeting accompanied by @PsgAnneWangombe and @unwomenkenya Country Director, Antonia N'gambala. Various women legislators in both the @Senate_KE and the @NAssemblyKE were also present. The forum now sets the stage for Kenya's full participation at #CSW70 between March 9- 19, 2026 in New York.

We were delighted to host a team from @womenlifthealth led by Ms. Judith Anyona, the East Africa Region Program Lead. We discussed partnership opportunities in the health sector, particularly the role of women leadership in driving positive change in health. The discussions also explored how to leverage existing structures within government such as the National Gender Sector Working Group to reach more deserving grassroot women.

Integrated health education among adolescent girls and boys is critical to teenage pregnancy reduction, promotes safe puberty transition and reduces the exposure of adolescents to #GBV risks. Today @PsgAnneWangombe hosted a delegation from @ZanaAfrica to discuss possible areas of collaboration, focusing on menstrual health and women's dignity. The discussions highlighted a need for concerted effort in sensitisation to positively shift social norms and attitudes around stigmatised issues like mensuration. @NiaYanguKe
