The President reported me to my constituents saying I am a thorn in the flesh of his administration and asked them to tell me that I should now stop being a bad girl and be a good girl. I told him "Are you aware Mr. President that good girls never get the corner office?"

Harmful cultural norms and practices may often perpetuate violence against women and girls. It is up to us all to constantly question these norms and assess the ways it further harms those who have been victimized in our societies. What is an example you can share? #EndVAWG

Poor women with children to feed, at the bottom of the social hierarchy, can't afford to report assault or harassment and risk losing her job—and sexual predators understand this all too well.

We strongly condemn the murder of Rebecca Cheptegei, the third elite runner to be murdered in Kenya. All suspects were intimate partners of the athletes. No impunity for perpetrators. The trend of #femicide must be stopped. Statement by UN Women Africa unwo.men/j9w250TgStU

sadly Kenya has seen a significant rise in femicide cases, highlighting a deep-rooted issue that goes beyond statistics. This crime against women violates human rights, shatters societal fabric, requiring urgent action. Global Fund for Women Mama Cash
