It breaks my heart to read about women being detained at hospitals due to unpaid maternity bills. This is why Linda Mama is important and should be left untouched.

Society's obsession with the 'perfect victim' needs to be studied. A person can only be a victim if they are non-confrontational, subdued, dress modestly, never drink or party, and most of all, don't speak up about their abuse so that we can believe they are victims. How sad.

We’re kicking off the 9th annual #GirlsFirst Summit today in Nairobi. This conference, designed with practitioners working in Kenya, brings community-based organizations together to strengthen their programs, build girls’ power, and network!

Today, grassroots leaders come together to learn how to design girl-centered, girl-led programs, especially around sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Let’s build stronger programs that truly listen to girls. #GirlsFirst #GirlHour #WWYDGame

In order for us to understand how to create for and with girls, we developed the #GirlHour, a session where girls share their insights as experts to practitioners, suggest solutions, and discuss issues that affect their peers. #GirlsFirst

Girls know best what they need. During #GirlHour, they lead the conversations, sharing real stories and powerful insights that help us design better programs that actually work for them. #GirlsFirst

Girls are not a monolith. We’re exploring how intersectionality—from age and disability to ethnicity and geography—shapes girls’ access to #SRHR services. Programs must be inclusive, equitable, and tailored. 🌍 #GirlsFirst #InclusionMatters

🗣️ Adult allies have a critical role in supporting girl-led SRHR initiatives: 👂 Listen 🧠 Learn 🤝 Commit Participants are leaving today with concrete actions to uplift girls’ initiatives in their communities and to transform how we show up in this work. #GirlsFirst
