@NikkyMwarari your support in creating awareness about TFGBV is appreciated, Keep on. #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa Use it as a reform blueprint. Simply put, align law and support systems. Digital spaces must not become lawless zones. #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

Q5: How can policymakers and leaders use this toolkit to strengthen protection against TFGBV in Kenya? #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa It sends one powerful message. You are not overreacting. You are being violated and violation demands response. Clarity breaks isolation. #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

Q4: How can this toolkit support someone who feels isolated or silenced by online abuse? #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa Community organizations can train members to document abuse, report safely and support survivors. Prevention starts when communities stop being silent spectators and become active defenders. #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

Q3: How can schools, universities, or community organizations use this toolkit to prevent TFGBV? #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa Digital safety section. Lock account to strengthen privacy. you have to STOP THE BLEEDING! #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

Q2: If you experienced online harassment today, which section of this toolkit would you turn to first understanding the law, evidence collection, reporting mechanisms, or digital safety tips? #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa Evidence section. Not anger. Not confrontation. Screenshots, dates, links etc... Documentation transforms abuse from gossip into a case. Proof is power. #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa This toolkit is a weapon of clarity for women in leadership. Visibility attracts attacks and with it the targets can become tacticians. #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

Q1: Who do you think this TFGBV Toolkit is most useful for survivors, activists, students, women in politics, parents, or policymakers? #KomeshaTFGBV #DigitalSafety #GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa It's for anyone tired of being told "ignore it." Survivors, activists, campus leaders and women in politics. The toolkit replaces silence with strategy and we all know strategy always outlives intimidation. #KomeshaTFGBV#DigitalSafety#GenderJustice

@ELGIA_Africa @ippf @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya @UNFPA_ESARO @NGECKenya Legal aid: @Kituochasheria @fidakenya Mental health support: @KenyaRedCross GBV units #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 7 Which community-based or national support systems, such as hotlines, GBV centres, and legal aid, should survivors of TF-GBV be aware of? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @CanHCKenya @EyesAbroad @GlblCtzn @UNFPA Telcos and AI companies in Kenya hold the keys to safer digital spaces. They can flag abusive content or even use algorithm audits to prevent gendered harassment. Women need digital spaces where they can exist without fear. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 6 What role should telcos and AI companies play in making digital spaces safer for women and girls in Kenya? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya Kenya has the Cybercrimes Act but how many TF-GBV cases have actually led to prosecution? Very few. Law exists yet justice rarely follows. Online abuse continues with near impunity. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 5 Are existing Kenyan laws (like the Computer Misuse and Cyber crimes Act) enough to address TF-GBV? What gaps still remain? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya Kenyan masculinity is often measured by clout and dominance. Men should refuse to forward and share harmful content for likes. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 4 How can men and boys in Kenya become stronger allies in preventing TF-GBV in their online spaces? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya Men and boys can challenge the idea that “boys will be boys” online. Reporting abusers, defending victims and modelling respectful behavior proves that Kenyan men can be protectors not perpetrators in digital spaces. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa Privacy isn’t paranoia, it’s safety! Teaching loved ones to guard passwords, location data, personal videos and images helps block TF-GBV early because once content spreads online in Kenya control is hard to regain.

Question 3 What digital safety steps should every Kenyan take to protect themselves and their loved ones from TF-GBV? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa A good example is Azziad Nasenya's case. Sustained cyberbullying shows how TF-GBV impacts mental health, confidence and livelihood. For less visible girls, the same abuse happens quietly without support or justice. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 2 How are Kenyan women and girls uniquely affected by online harassment, stalking, and image-based abuse? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa Kenyan women are affected through shame and silence. When for example private images of female students circulate in social media mostly the victim withdraw socially while perpetrators face little consequence. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa In Kenya, TF-GBV shows up as leaked pics in WhatsApp groups, X pile-ons and digital blackmail. It’s dismissed as “online drama” because the harm isn’t a slap to the face but the impact on safety and mental health is very real. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 1 What does TF-GBV look like in Kenya today, and why do many people still dismiss it as “just online drama”? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa TF-GBV in Kenya looks like screenshots or videos used as weapons, trolls sent to silence women and private lives turned viral. People dismiss it because our society still treats the internet like a joke not a crime scene. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@EcEssie 😂 That twist really got me. A true high-IQ move, the ultimate smart cheat!

Story Time 🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠 John goes to his buddy Steve and confesses to sleeping with the wife of his friend, Alan "Steve, do me a favor and keep Alan busy at the bar for a few hours, will ya?" John asks. Steve doesn't like it, but being a friend he reluctantly agrees. Steve takes Alan to the bar and starts asking him all sorts of questions to keep him occupied. Finally, Alan gets annoyed and asks Steve what's going on. Feeling guilty, Steve confesses to Alan... "My friend is sleeping with your wife right now, so he asked me to keep you busy." Alan smiles, puts his hand on Steve's shoulder, and says "You should probably hurry home now. My wife died a year ago."

This man right here and his story should convince all of us to demand a change of direction in our country. Let me tell you something you may already suspect. In Kenya, we have one overarching national interest. And that national interest is the service of corrupt and greedy politicians. Not service to young Kenyans like this man. I will use data from 2023-2024 to make this point. That year, as you can see in the attached second picture, our country spent KSH 3.8 trillion. That was our national budget. Out of this amount, our country could only raise KSH 2.5 trillion. So, we had to borrow 40% of the amount we insisted on spending. KSH 1.5 trillion. You can see that in the second picture. Do you know how we spent the KSH 3.8 trillion? KSH 1.6 went to ‘debt service’. Debt service is us paying for the lifestyles of these corrupt politicians. It is how we are able to continue paying them the insane salaries you see in the third picture. A country where the average citizen is making KSH 20,000 a month decides it can afford to pay a Governor 163 times what the average citizen in Wajir makes. It is how we are able to continue losing KSH 800 billion annually to corruption. And this is a more polite way of saying we lose KSH 800 billion to the same 1% that is the ruling class. Think about this. One million people work for the National Government. They collectively consume 50% of ALL revenue we collect. That is 2% of the country’s population eating up 50% of the cake. So, last year when we made KSH 2.5 trillion, we needed to borrow KSH 1.5 trillion to continue facilitating their tastes. So, from the KSH 3.8 trillion, we took KSH 1.6 trillion for debt service. And this is not to reduce the debt. It is to keep up with our obligations. From KSH 3.8 trillion, now we have KSH 2.2 trillion left. We sent KSH 450 billion to the counties. What do we have left? KSH 1.8 trillion (approximately). From that, we spent KSH 1.2 trillion on salaries for the one million people employed by the National Government. This KSH 1.2 trillion is about 50% of the KSH 2.5 trillion we earned all year. So, you had KSH 1.8 trillion left. Now, you have spent KSH 1.2 trillion on salaries alone. Ok? What do you have left? KSH 600 billion. To serve 50 million people. To send kids to school. To provide healthcare. To build roads. And, to facilitate corruption within SHA. Remember that KSH 111 billion we lost on SHA? It needs to come from that amount, or, we are adding it to our balance sheet. Remember the KSH 41 million @WilliamsRuto’s Government of Thieves, by Thieves and for Thieves sent to a ‘patient’ who apparently delivered 10,860 babies in one year? Or the millions they sent to another magical patient who apparently delivered 656 babies through C-Section in one year? Or the KSH 51 million they said they paid for a patient who managed to be admitted into several different hospitals on the dates, at the same time receiving 2,808 procedures? Those amounts are coming from this figure of KSH 600 billion. Now, let’s take a Quick Look at the KSH 450 billion sent to the counties. 44% of every shilling from that KSH 450 billion (approximately) went to direct salaries of 1% of each county’s population. In some counties, it was worse. @SakajaJohnson in Nairobi dropped 55% of all revenue on salaries for about 16,000 people. Or 0.3% of the population of Nairobi. On top of that, our counties spent KSH 17 billion on luxury travel. Some of our politicians practically live abroad. KSH 2.4 billion on cars. So, how much do you think our government - national and counties- have for John Tingoi? Here is the truth, ladies and gentlemen: This country has one national interest. And that is the service of the most corrupt and greedy politicians. This is beyond debate at this point in time. That data supporting this is incontrovertible. @LavaniMila @MoGAbdi @OkiyaOmtatah @Bright_Shitemi @fit_ermined @MigunaMiguna @Mizani254
