Women Spaces Africa

In Kisauni, Mombasa County, @WomenSpaces held a critical convening with women & girls with disabilities on decision-making, bodily autonomy, consent & contraception. No more leaving anyone behind. Inclusive sexual & reproductive health rights are human rights.

In Mathare: @WomenSpaces convened local leaders, Kiamaiko FM, CHVs, Nyumba Kumi, health providers, and market chair. Outcome: disability quotas in leadership, market stalls as leaders (not charity), radio co-hosts, and end pity sermons. That's real inclusion. #disabilityinclusion

Only 7 days left until the close of Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration #ECVR2026 by @IEBCKenya. We call on women with disabilities to take this opportunity to register, vote and make it count in 2027. ECVR presents a window of accessible service; no one should be left behind.

Day 2 done ✅ Nairobi healthcare providers trained by Women Spaces Africa on dignified SRHR care for women & girls with disabilities. Role-play. Real talk. Real action plans. Respect isn’t extra — it’s essential. #SRHR #DisabilityInclusion #WomenSpacesAfrica

Day 1 in Nairobi. Women Spaces Africa is training healthcare providers on how to offer SRHR services to women & girls with disabilities — with respect and dignity. Topics today: barriers, bias, and better communication. Inclusive care is possible. We’re building it. #SRHR

🧵 Day 3 of 3: Ready to lead. Today, our 10 Peer Stars learned: ✅ Facilitation principles ✅ Inclusive CSE for special schools ✅ Practice sessions ✅ Planning “Bright Future” meet-ups They are now trained, confident, and ready to reach #GWDS have been left behind.

Day 2 of 3: Empowerment in action. Today’s Peer Stars topics: ✅ Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) ✅ Peer pressure & goal setting ✅ Bodily autonomy (non-negotiable) ✅ Referral pathways #gwds have been silenced for too long. These 10 young leaders are changing that.

🧵 Day 1 of 3: Peer Stars training, coastal Kenya. 47.4% of girls in Kilifi marry before 18. For girls with disabilities, stigma + poverty = double invisibility. Today’s focus: ✅ SRHR & rights ✅ Child marriage causes & prevention ✅ Myths vs. reality ✅ Building confidence.

This Easter, as we celebrate hope and renewal, @rhnkorg sends warm wishes to our partners, communities and the health workers who show up every day for the women and girls who need them most. May this season bring rest, joy and renewed strength for the work ahead. #HappyEaster2026

A child carefully lines up toys instead of playing in ways others expect. An adult organizes data with the same intensity and is praised for being detail-oriented. One is corrected, the other is celebrated. The difference is not the behaviour, it is how society chooses to interpret it. We have seen autistic individuals thrive when their natural strengths are recognized rather than reshaped. Their focus, consistency, and attention to detail are not limitations. They are valuable contributions when given the right environment. This leads us to reflect on a deeper question. What if the very traits we try to change are the ones our world actually needs? #EveryLifeHasValue #AutismAwarenessDay #RedefineValue

This #PurpleDay, we stand with girls, women, and gender expansive individuals living with epilepsy. 💜 From hormonal triggers to social stigma, their battles are often unseen. Let’s break the myths, end the discrimination, and show true solidarity. #EpilepsyAwareness

We challenged gatekeepers—Chiefs, Police, the County Commissioner, MCA & religious leaders—to stop blocking access for women & girls with disabilities. Rights are not optional. Accountability is non-negotiable. #womenspacesafrica #disabilityrights #endgatekeeping #inclusion
