Over the weekend, our Executive Director at the PONA Initiative had the honour of facilitating a powerful “Know Your Rights” session with amazing young women and girls in Majivuni, Malindi Sub-County under the Project in partnership with AkiliDada and ForumCiv.

The session focused on:
🔹 Breaking down myths vs truths about girls’ and women’s rights
🔹 Engaging in outdoor group discussions on everyday violations and how to speak up
🔹 Understanding how knowing our rights helps us fight Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
It was truly inspiring to witness the courage, curiosity, and strength of these girls. Many shared their personal stories, dreams, and the challenges they face in their homes and communities.

One thing was clear: When girls know their rights, they are more confident, more vocal, and more empowered to protect themselves and support one another.

We are proud to walk alongside these future leaders as they rise to claim their space in society.
💜 To the girls of Majivuni: Your voice matters. Your rights matter. You matter.
Shout out to Akili Dada for making this happen! Eunice GM Hope 4 Women Center She Foward Coast Cbo
