I so love this conversation with amazing feminists: 'how do we fund our own feminism activism' #pussypower
Quote Tweet
Women want to be financially stable and independent: BUT HOW?
On this panel, CGHRD hosts a discussion on how women can fund their own feminist economy: be it access to credit, digital marketing, offline financial management etc

highlight how activists at the grassroots are grappling with service provision to community members because community members fail to realize that activists can only do so much. #HRDs are human and can also experience burn outs.

I don’t know why people would think that me, of all people would regret holding someone to account for glorifying GBV on a radio station targeted at the youth. I regret nothing, including holding Change.Org to account for unlawful labour practice publicly.

If you are operating in this country, even if you are not registered here you are still responsible to operate within the laws of this land. Labour laws are clear. Follow them.

Rachel Mwikali - Gender Justice, Activist: We experience patriarchy and sexism in the police stations; when planning for protests, they take women back and forth in order to make them not to be able to speak for themselves. #CitizenWeekend

Njoki Gachanja - Political & Social Justice Activist: We live in a patriarchal society; we have women who have been socially engineered to prop up the man and that's why there's this fallacious statement of "women are their own worst enemy" #CitizenWeekend

I love a good boundary. Healthy boundaries personally, professionally - love them because they are the things that keep us sane in a chaotic world.

The idea that boundaries are antithetical to community building is false. What they challenge is the idea that everyone should be everything to you. Push back on the expectation that we should be constantly available. Recognise how different people build and are in community.

Women bears the burden of #climatechange impacts and conflicts in #ASAL & rural counties in #Kenya. Most women are not engaged in sustainable livelihoods, which makes them vulnerable. We need to bring women onboard in peace and conflict resolution. #formnidialogue
