Meet Celestine, a young champion from Marsabit who refused to accept the traditional beads that would have marked her readiness for early marriage. Instead, she chose education and is now standing up for other girls in her community. Today, she is an advocate against FGM and child marriage, proving that when girls are empowered, they become agents of change. @EUinKenya @HAImedicines #SHARPtestimonies #HealthyAdolescents #EndEarlyMarriages

Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA), presents the findings of an influencer mapping exercise conducted in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia to identify and engage key social media influencers driving public discourse on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and feminist advocacy. The study responds to the increasing resistance against SRHR, which is largely driven by conservative religious, political, and patriarchal forces. With digital platforms emerging as critical spaces for public engagement, advocacy, and movement-building, this report explores how influencers can be effectively leveraged to promote gender justice, counter misinformation, and strengthen feminist narratives across the region. Dive into the report here: bit.ly/4uwvRuR Webinar Theme: Rights, Justice, Action: Telling our stories and Driving Action. Date: 19th March 2026 Time: 2:00 - 4:30 pm EAT Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi… #IWD #SRHR #FeministMedia #AMwA #HerStory #IWD #MediaForChange #FeministFutures
In commemoration of International Women's Day, Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) invites you for a webinar: "Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls: Telling Our Stories and Driving Action." During this virtual event, feminist social media influencers and story tellers from Uganda, Kenya and Zimbabwe will take a broader look into the shifting state of the online spaces considering the impact of anti-rights and the use of new technologies like AI to make the space even less safe for feminist activists. Furthermore, AMwA will disseminate findings and messages from key media engagement tools such as the Influencer Guide and recent reports from anti-rights monitoring and mitigation surveillance.

Yesterday, as we marked #IWD2026, I stressed that women’s voices must shape urban decision-making, digital tools, and climate action. Equal cities require women’s leadership at every level. @UN_Women @unwomenkenya @UNHABITAT @ODG_UNON

“The biggest injustice women still face in 2026 is the lack of life-saving maternal health commodities, especially those needed to manage postpartum haemorrhage and preeclampsia, which remain among the leading causes of maternal mortality globally.” — Dorothy, SHARP Coordinator Every preventable maternal death is not just a health issue but a justice issue. Across many communities, women continue to lose their lives due to stock-outs, weak supply systems and under-prioritization of maternal health commodities that could save lives within minutes. This #InternationalWomensDay 2026, under the call Rights. Justice. Action., we must recognize that: 🔹 Women’s health is a right — not a privilege. 🔹 Justice means access to life-saving medicines and commodities when they are needed most. 🔹 Action requires governments and health systems to prioritize maternal health financing, procurement, and accountability. No woman should die giving life simply because the medicines that could save her were unavailable. #IWD2026 #RightsJusticeAction
