Systemic injustice isn’t a glitch, it’s the system working against the most vulnerable. From a hospital bed to a jail cell for over a month because of accessing a service protected by the Constitution. The PAK & Salim Mohammed case exposes how women and healthcare providers continue to be criminalized instead of protected. The High Court decision was clear, abortion is a fundamental right under the 2010 Constitution of Kenya. #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice

It has been a real pleasure to work with Lech Walesa - former president of #Poland and #NobelLaureate and to contribute towards the book he will be promoting on tour - #Profits and #Principles: When Global #Finance Meets #Democratic Principles. Wałęsa said “freedom goes together with #bread.” For #African democracies, this means #political rights are meaningless without economic agency. Yet global finance often demands bread without freedom — sovereignty traded for capital. We must reject this false choice. 🍞⚖️ In my chapter (pp. 113–118) of the book, I explore how #Islamic finance can help rewrite the rules of global capital—where bread and freedom can go hand in hand. Instruments like #Sukuk and #Zakat offer pathways to shared prosperity beyond extraction. 📘 Read more: efcongress.com/wp-content/upl…
