AWLN Kenya- Young Women’s Caucus

Ultimately, the convening reaffirmed that strengthening national and transnational solidarity among young women is essential and that collective power must be nurtured, protected, resourced, and sustained. #youngwomensleadership

Held at the close of #16DaysOfActivism that focused on ending digital violence, the forum created space for raw conversations on TFGBV and its emotional and mental toll on young women in leadership.

We convened a hybrid regional forum on CEDAW GR No. 40 and the impact of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) on young women leaders. The dialogue unpacked how calls for greater inclusion of young women’s representation in decision-making systems. #CEDAWGR40

IMLU, @katibainstitute, @thekhrc, and other civil society organisations file a Petition against CS Murkomen’s remarks on police use of force. The petition alleges that these comments constitute incitement to violence and unlawful acts, and amount to unacceptable ethical conduct.

Congratulations H.E Dr. @AUBinetaDiop, AWLN Co-convener, on receiving an honorary doctorate in Africa Studies from the University of Free State’s Centre for Gender & Africa Studies in Bloemfontein, SA! Your work has redefined the narrative of African women in leadership, putting gender equality and peacebuilding at the heart of Africa’s transformation.
