We look at systemic failures in the protection of women & girls. If there are gaps in the law we make sure that laws are reformed. Using the multi-sectoral approach we involve different actors like lawyers & parliamentarians to make sure the law protects all women & girls @muhuha

Mary Makokha founded @REEPKenya in 1998 because she was concerned with the levels of #SGBV in her community and the resulting risk of #HIV/ #AIDS. On #WorldAidsDay we applaud her 20 years of activism in her #16Days profile equalitynow.org/mary16days

Op ed for #DailyMirror by Equality Now's @jacq_hunt responding to comments by senior #police constable Sara Thornton at #PoliceConf18. We shouldn’t have to choose whether policing misogyny is a good use of police time. #EVAW  @stevemyalleats
