In the care conversation, employers of domestic workers are key stakeholders. Through the Employers’ Community of Practice (CoP), the Time To Care Project engages employers to champion the rights and needs of domestic workers, with a strong focus on addressing gender-based violence (GBV). Last week, we held our Employers’ CoP convening in Nakuru. These convenings are participant-led, meaning the employers themselves take charge of the discussions, shaping solutions that work for them and the workers they employ. The Nakuru CoP has been particularly active, creating meaningful links with the local administration and the Nakuru County Government. Over the past quarter, they have even met with members of the County Assembly to push for stronger support for domestic workers. Partnering with local administration and government is essential in the care conversation, it paves the way for investment in care infrastructure and ensures domestic workers’ rights remain a policy priority. We are excited by the steps made by the Nakuru CoP and remain curious to see what their unity can achieve.@OxfamKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @CDTD_

The State of the Climate Justice Movement in Kenya twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we uplift the voices of Indigenous #women & girls. Plastic pollution chokes rivers, kills livestock, and erodes heritage. It's not just an environmental issue, it’s a gendered injustice. Together, we must #BeatPlasticPollution. #FeministClimateJustice

Did you know? The IGAD region is home to over 300 million people and an incredible 70% of them are under the age of 30! This not just a number — it’s a powerful force for change, innovation, and growth. When youth are empowered, the region thrives! #IGADYouthPolicyinAction

@AntoniaSodonon this is a good move,let's work together in ending GBV,advancing gender equality and empowering young women and girls.

I held a meeting with a delegation from @UN_Women led by the UN Women Country Representative to Kenya , Ms.@AntoniaSodonon Our engagement focused on deepening collaboration between the Government of Kenya and UN Women in advancing gender equality, women’s empowerment and the prevention and response to gender-based violence (GBV). Kenya continues to demonstrate strong will and commitment to achieving gender equality as outlined in our national development agenda and international obligations.

We paid a courtesy call to @hannawcheptumo to reaffirm our collaboration in: ✅Advancing #genderequality, ending GBV & empowering women & girls in 🇰🇪, aligned with Vision 2030, the Constitution & global frameworks ✅We also emphasized engaging men & boys as change champions etc

We’re excited to join the 3-day COMESA training on Mediation over Natural Resource-Based Conflicts from April 23–25 in Baringo County! Key themes: conflict analysis, mediation processes & challenges. #BIPO #Peacebuilding #NaturalResources #Mediation #COMESA

The discussions provided an introduction to the COMESA Handbook for Mediation on Natural Resource Conflicts. Participants explored mediation frameworks and tools designed to help resolve disputes over land, water, and other vital resources. These tools are essential for fostering dialogue, building consensus, and creating lasting solutions that benefit communities and ensure sustainable resource management. #endresourcebasedconflict

Our ED represented BIPO at the African Regional Workshop on #PositiveMasculinity by @UNWomenKenya & partners. As an Endorois young woman, she uplifted Indigenous voices, championed gender justice & called for inclusive,leadership. #EndGBV #SheLeads

Day 1 of the #PositiveMasculinity Regional Workshop has come to an end. Girls, young women & gender champions have unpacked toxic masculinity & how to shape strategies to challenge @GBV across #Africa. Empowerment, digital safety & advocacy are at the heart of the conversation.

@danielshirima01 @YouthAliveKe @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2 Setting a fair minimum wage for domestic workers ensures they earn adequate compensation, aligning with local living wage standards and community needs. #IWD #timetocare

@YouthAliveKe @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2 I’ve seen firsthand how draining it is to care for sick family members or those with disabilities—physically, emotionally, and financially. Yet, the ones giving this care get no support. #TimeToCare #IWD2025 #InvestInCare

There is a need to recognize, redistribute, reduce, reward, and represent care work. To achieve this, what are some policy recommendations that the government should adopt?#TimeToCare #IWD2025 #Investincare @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2

@YouthAliveKe @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2 Use of washing machines to reduce time and burden of cleaning clothes.... And carpet machines to wash carpets #timetocare

There are several innovations that help reduce the workload of care workers. What are they? #IWD2025 #investincare #TimeToCare @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2

Care workers often face a lot of challenges,It is important we acknowledge their contributions. What are these challenges and how can we acknowledge their contribution? #TimeToCare #InvestInCare #IWD2025 @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2
