Strengthening care systems starts with getting the policy right. Through the Action for Paid Childcare Sector Transformation (ACT) Project, @covaw engaged the Kakamega County Executive Committee in a technical review of the Draft Kakamega County Care Policy, an important step toward ensuring it aligns with the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) and is ready for submission to the County Assembly. As emphasized by County Attorney Ms. Vivianne Mmbaka, this validation process is key to safeguarding fundamental human rights and ensuring the policy is practical, enforceable, and impactful. At its core, the policy seeks to ensure that care work is formally recognized, measurable, and fairly rewarded, because care is work, and it must count. #Act4Care #ACTProjectKE #CareWorkCounts #GenderEquality #PolicyForChange #WUSC #COVAW #Kakamega

"The ratification of ILO Conventions 189 and 190 is not merely a legal step; it is a statement of our commitment to transforming the labour market in Kenya. It reflects our vision of workplaces that are fair, inclusive, and resilient, where every worker, including those in the informal sector and domestic workers, is protected, valued, and treated with dignity. This is a milestone in advancing decent work, promoting gender equality, and ensuring safe and harassment-free environments for all." – State Department for Labour and Skills Development, PS Shadrack Mwadime, during the Nairobi public participation on the ratification of ILO Conventions 189 & 190. #Act4Care #ACTProjectKE #RatifyILO189 #RatifyILO190 #ChildcareWorkIsWork #DecentWork

To mark International Women's Day, @covaw joined @supamamas and other partners at the International Women’s Day Run, bringing together women and allies from all walks of life in a shared show of solidarity against gender-based violence. Guided by this year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” the event highlighted that real progress on gender equality requires deliberate contributions from governments, institutions, communities, and individuals. Participants ran to celebrate the resilience of survivors while championing collective action to end sexual and gender-based violence. Coalition on Violence Against Women continues to champion the rights of women and girls to live free from all forms of violence. As part of this commitment, we advocate for the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence and work to ensure survivors can access the support they need. This includes psychosocial support, free legal aid through a pool of pro bono advocates, and assistance through our toll-free helpline: 0800 720 553. Together, we move forward in solidarity to ensure every woman and girl can live free from violence. #IWD2026 #EndGBV #GiveToGain #WomensRights #EndSGBV

Happy International Women's Day!
