It is Katiba Day! We celebrate Katiba Day not because Kenya adopted the 2010 Constitution, but because it gave Kenyans a powerful framework to claim their rights, participate in governance, and hold power to account. #KatibaAt16

Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence #TFGBV silences voices, discourages civic participation, and weakens inclusive governance. Together with Defenders Coalition and support from Ireland Embassy in Kenya, we engaged Kayole residents on building safer, more inclusive digital spaces. #TFGBV

Rev. Edward Buri of PCEA Syokimau reflected on the blurred line between faith and politics, noting that even prayer can be seen as political. He challenged the idea that religion can be separated from power and public life, saying silence on politics ignores how power shaped Christ’s story. #VIBE

Social media has become mainstream in recent years, and at first it was largely seen as a positive space for engagement and activism. It created opportunities to translate online conversations and media activism into real actions. ~ Gitungo Wamere . Head of Programs

Cultural attitudes can also work against women. Women with disabilities, for instance, are sometimes mocked or criticised for having families, with violence and blame directed at them because they are differently-abled - Waringa Loise Board Member at kenyashak #TFGBV

Algorithms often fail to flag #TFGBV fuelled messages, especially when slang, or local dialects are used. This gap makes it harder to detect and mitigate gender based violence online, allowing harmful content to spread while victims remain unprotected. - John Muchori- Bunge Mashinani . #TFGBV

Victims of #TFGBV are protected by laws such as the Constitution of Kenya, the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act as amended in 2025, and the Data Protection Act. These laws give individuals the power to know how their data is collected, processed, and even deleted. -Kirimi Racheal
