USAMINI KILA UNACHOKIONA. 4 ways to spot gendered disinformation: 1️⃣ Attacks character/appearance, not ideas? 2️⃣ Designed to go viral to shame a woman? 3️⃣ From anonymous/bot accounts? 4️⃣ Have you verified it? STOP. VERIFY. DON'T SHARE. #KaaRadaa

The Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act says: ❌Threats are NOT "just politics" ❌Intimidation is NOT "normal" ❌Coordinated attacks are ILLEGAL You have the right to: ✅Safety ✅Report ✅Mental wellbeing Document. Report. Seek support. #KAARADAA

USALAMA USIWE SABABU YA KUKANDAMIZA. Article 31, Constitution of Kenya: ✅Surveillance must follow the law ✅It cannot be arbitrary ✅It cannot be used to intimidate activists Activism is not a crime. Your voice is legitimate. #StopIllegalSurveillance #KAARADAA

Gendered disinformation is NOT just noise. It's a coordinated weapon designed to push women out of leadership, silence critical voices, and undermine credibility. When they attack your character, they are attacking your right to exist in public space. #GenderedDisinformation

Through our #AccesstoJustice Project, we’re reaching the unreached via grassroots outreach. Our case managers traverse remote, underserved areas to provide legal support and introduce our SMS platform 21094, because justice should never be out of reach. #AccessToJustice

DATA YAKO NI YAKO WEWE PEKEE YAKO. The Data Protection Act (2019) says: ✅ Your data belongs to you ✅ Consent is required ✅ You can demand correction or deletion Doxing, leaking intimate images,tracking without consent = ILLEGAL. Know your rights. Report to ODPC. #DataPrivacy

Your rights don't disappear when you go online. The Constitution of Kenya protects your freedom of expression, privacy, and safety—whether you're on the streets of Mombasa or on social media. The Kaa Radaa project is here to remind you: Digital Rights = Human Rights. #KAARADAA

Financial dependence should never be a trap. Over 35% of domestic violence cases are linked to economic barriers. Our Access to Justice & Security Project offers survivors seed capital and guidance to achieve independence, allowing them to reclaim their lives. #EmpoweringNations

Last year, we trained 32 teachers from Embakasi South & Makadara on GBV prevention, child rights & safe spaces—because teachers are often the first line of defense for children witnessing violence. With @ActionAid_Kenya ,@MOH_Kenya & of Education & now we seek to empower more.
