Let’s shape the future of inclusive digital experiences together.

We are proud to share highlights from last week’s Simplified SRHR Training, which brought together a dynamic coalition of stakeholders — Mama Siri Champions, Digital Dadas, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Media Representatives, and Healthcare Providers — united by a shared commitment to advancing disability-inclusive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Kenya.

The training strengthened the capacity of diverse participants to lead evidence-based, rights-affirming SRHR dialogues that center the dignity, agency, and lived experiences of women and girls with disabilities — including those with visible and invisible disabilities.

Through interactive sessions, storytelling, tactile and captioned learning tools, and peer-led discussions, participants explored practical ways to dismantle stereotypes, amplify advocacy, and embed accessibility — such as Braille materials, sign language interpretation, and inclusive design — across SRHR programming and communication.

This milestone marks not just the end of a training, but the beginning of a collective movement: one where no woman or girl is left behind in the journey toward equitable, respectful, and culturally grounded SRHR services. 💪🏾💜

Over 60,000 persons with disabilities have registered on Hesabika since its inception, and of these, more than 45,000 are women and girls with disabilities.

At a time when resources are stretched and policies continue to evolve, accurate and inclusive data is more critical than ever. Without it, women and girls with disabilities remain invisible in the very systems designed to support them.

Dial *548 # today and get counted.
Together, let’s strengthen visibility, advocacy, and inclusive development.

A wave of purple is sweeping across social media — not for aesthetics, but for awareness. People are changing their profile pictures and flooding timelines with 💜 in solidarity with women across Africa ahead of the March Against Gender-Based Violence on November 21st.

But behind every purple heart lies a painful truth.

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤. 𝐀𝐜𝐭. 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐭.

Every act of gender-based violence is not just an individual tragedy t is a systemic failure that fractures communities, silences futures, and deepens inequality.

For women and girls with disabilities, the danger is even greater:
🔹 According to WHO, women a are 2–4 times more likely to experience GBV than women without disabilities
🔹 In Kenya, a 2022 GBV Prevalence Survey revealed that 21% of women with disabilities have faced physical or sexual violence—yet only 1 in 10 sought help.
🔹 Grassroots reports from Nairobi, Kisumu, and Kakamega show that girls with intellectual or sensory impairments are often excluded from prevention programs and survivor support.

💜 The purple movement is more than solidarity—it’s a call to action.
To listen. To include. To make justice and support accessible for every woman and girl.

Because silence is not strength. It is consent to injustice.

If you or someone you know needs help, call Mama Sirri via 0800 000 300 or SMS 0799 000 300 for free and confidential support.
