✨ The countdown to #GivingTuesday begins! ✨

This Giving Tuesday, we stand with women like Jocyline, a single mom who spent months in Prison after an accusation she couldn’t disprove. No CCTV. No witnesses. No cash bail. Justice Nest helped secure her release & restore her dignity. 👉 justicenest.org/blog-details/16 #GivingTuesday

Mary’s story broke our 💔 & strengthened our resolve. This month, as we mark #GivingTuesday & approach our anniversary, we’re reflecting, rebuilding, & recommitting to protecting mothers & children, men & women in the justice system. Go to our website:justicenest.org/donate 💛

📊 DID YOU KNOW? In Kenya, nearly 90% of the prison population;~55K, lack access to legal representation (KPS, 2024). Poverty, illiteracy, & systemic inefficiencies prevent many; ~45% held in pre-trial detention, from defending themselves adequately (NCAJ, 2024).

When Justice Choses to Care, the best interest of a child takes precedence 👩🏽‍⚖️❤️One powerful message from the High Court of Eldoret: Children should never serve prison sentences for their mothers’ mistakes. #WomenAndJustice #NonCustodialSentences #AccessToJustice #SDG16
