For too long, women and girls with disabilities have remained invisible in data—excluded from surveys, omitted from reports, and erased from policy decisions. Without disaggregated, disability-inclusive data, SRHR programs, maternal health services, GBV response systems, and public budget allocations continue to bypass those most at risk.

Let’s keep building a Kenya where women with disabilities are not just included but influential.

Equal societies don’t just include women and girls with disabilities they actively uphold their rights, honor their dignity, and amplify their leadership.

Yet structural discrimination persists: intersecting biases of gender and disability continue to deny them full access to:

✅ Inclusive services — from Sexual Reproductive Health Right and Gender-Based Violence response to mental health and HIV care
✅ Economic justice — fair employment, entrepreneurship support, and financial autonomy
✅ Meaningful participation — in decision-making, civic life, and shaping the policies that affect them

Equity isn’t accommodation. It’s transformation.

Today, we close the 16 Days of Activism, but our commitment to justice does not end. Human rights are not seasonal. They are daily, non-negotiable, and intersectional.

We stand in solidarity with women and girls with disabilities whose rights are too often sidelined, whose voices are silenced, and whose dignity is denied.

Today is a reminder that care, resistance, and wisdom live in the everyday acts of mothers, aunties, sisters, and caregivers who hold communities together and demand change.

✊🏽 Rights. Access. Dignity. Choice.
✊🏽 SRHR for women & girls with disabilities.
✊🏽 Digital safety as bodily safety.
✊🏽 Integrated services: GBV response, psychosocial support, HIV prevention & care.

The fight continues beyond 16 days, beyond hashtags and beyond silence

Today is International Anti-Corruption Day, but corruption isn’t just about stolen funds.
It’s about stolen justice. Stolen safety. Stolen dignity.

For women and girls with disabilities in Kenya and beyond, corruption doesn’t happen in the abstract; it happens when:
- A deaf survivor is asked for money to file a Gender-Based Violence report, and no sign language interpreter is provided.
- A wheelchair user is denied access to a One-Stop Centre unless she pays a “facilitation fee.”
- A blind teenager’s intimate image is shared online and the case vanishes because the system demands bribes to act.

Corruption enables Gender-Based Violence. It silences voices already pushed to the margins. And it thrives where accountability is inaccessible.

We call for:
- Transparent, disability-inclusive budgeting for GBV & SRHR services
- Accessible reporting channels in Kenyan Sign Language, Braille, Easy Read
- Zero tolerance for abuse in institutions entrusted with care

Justice isn’t optional. Integrity isn’t selective.

No response is complete unless women with disabilities are included—not as afterthoughts, but as architects of change.

Today at Kanana Social Hall in Msambweni, Kwale County, women with disabilities stood at the centre of the conversation as rights-holders, leaders, and experts of their own lived realities. They demanded recognition, shaped policy recommendations, and directed the Hesabika program with clarity and conviction.

We also conducted an SRHR survey to make sure evidence—not assumptions—drives the fight for inclusive, dignified healthcare.

09/12/2025

We are not passive recipients of care we are leaders, decision-makers, and rights-holders. Yet systemic barriers, digital exclusion, and harmful stereotypes continue to deny us privacy, bodily autonomy, and protection from violence.

True inclusion means:
• Accessible, integrated SRHR and GBV services—designed with us, not for us
• Recognition of online harassment, cyberbullying, and image-based abuse as real, punishable forms of gender-based violence
• Centering the voices, expertise, and leadership of women and girls with disabilities in policy, media, research, and program design

Because inclusion without participation is exclusion in disguise.

08/12/2025

The right to a healthy period is a fundamental human right for women and girls with disabilities, yet too often, inaccessible sanitation, lack of adaptive menstrual products, exclusion from sexual reproductive health rights education, and harmful stereotypes turn menstruation into a source of shame, risk, and violence.
During the 16 Days of Activism, we spotlight how period poverty and the denial of menstrual dignity are forms of Gender-Based Violence, demanding inclusive policies, accessible services, and the recognition that bodily autonomy, safety, and choice during menstruation are non-negotiable for women and girls with disabilities.
