We pay tribute to Diana Mwikali,a woman with disability, who lost her life during child birth. Diana, whose life was cut short in her prime is not the only one we have lost, and painfully we ask many questions; #BreakTheBias #maternalhealthrights

From our previous input-gathering session, where we also created awareness on the different regional laws including the African Charter on Human and People's Rights, this week, we have a delegation of organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) attending the 87th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) in Banjul. We, together with the Kenya Network of Women and Girls with Disabilities, amongst other delegates, held a bilateral meeting with Hon. Commissioner Marie Abomo (the Chairperson of the Working Group on the Rights of Older Persons and People with Disabilities in Africa) and Hon. Commissioner Solomon Dersso (Kenya's Rapporteur), ahead of Kenya's review by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. The engagement centred around the following themes: 1. Implementation of the Persons with Disabilities Act No. 4 of 2025 2. Participation and representation of persons with disabilities in governance and political spaces 3. Rights of women and girls with disabilities 4. Inclusive education 5. Social protection This engagement is critical to strengthening Kenya's report and shaping recommendations to be raised during the constructive dialogue with Kenya's delegation at the 87th Ordinary Session. @IDA_CRPD_Forum @ADFSecretariat @ICJ_org @WCCKenya @Kwwdnetwork

Only 7 days left until the close of Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration #ECVR2026 by @IEBCKenya. We call on women with disabilities to take this opportunity to register, vote and make it count in 2027. ECVR presents a window of accessible service; no one should be left behind.
