Itâs International Womenâs Month!
Last week,
@UKinKenya hosted women leaders for an International Womenâs Day reception graced by HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie Helen.
In her very remarkable speech, HRH emphasized the need to âMove from Intent to Actionâ in tackling the worrying cases of gender based violence (GBV) and advocating for women and girls.
She aptly noted âwomenâs bodies shouldnât be a battleground, they shouldnât be seen as disposableâ and I couldnât agree more at a time when daily posts on
@usikimye platforms remind us of the troubling trend of women and girls losing their lives to femicide. Indeed, we must move from intent to action.
May this month inspire more action in creating safer, inclusive and feminist communities in the many years to come.
Grateful for my
#Chevening community through which I get to engage in such meaningful conversations.
