Dr Alice from @AMREF giving the #CSOs a brief presentation on #SGBV and due procedures in handling Such cases.
- There should be ammendments made to protect victims in the community from perpetrators who threaten them after being released on police cash bail or bonds. #SGBV.
@DizoPizo from @amanikibera :
How some police handle or respond go survivors during reporting discourages victims from proceeding with cases
Maggie from @hope2shine : we need to educate the community on the pathways to follow when handling SGBV cases.
Linette- SGBV coordinator for Langata
It is our responsibiity as CSOs to sensitize citizens on pathways of SGBV and educate them on their rights when reporting cases. There is need to find a way forward to handle mismanagement of cases by duty bearers. #GBV @PSYGKenya@GGENYC
In January, the High Court stopped the implementation of #NIIMS
The government can only move on #HudumaNamba *after* a comprehensive regulatory framework is in place to address exclusion & data privacy
The court was clear: even processing and using the data collected needed the regulatory framework first
It's not yet in place
(Yet PS Kibicho said millions of #HudumaNamba records have been cleaned & matched - a clear violation)
The #HudumaNamba judgement highlights risks to #privacy, data protection, and inclusion & struck out use of DNA & GPS - a significant win for the rights of all Kenyans
But other aspects of the judgement must be challenged to ensure stronger #humanrights protections
Currently on going: community forum in Kisii
The quest for awareness creation on citizenship and governance continues while respecting government stipulated #COVID19 guidelines #Governance#governanceke
Challenges faced by community members in Kisii 1- To get ID cards the community has to reach a quorum of 10 applicants. A challenging number to hit due to their small population. It can take up to a year or two to reach the quorum.
2- Marriage certificate issuance is also an issue since the community does not have a Kadhi's court in kisii. They are forced to travel to homabay to get these services
An individual must present an I.D whenever requesting social services or making transactions.
Lack of ID limits the ability of youth to make a living within and outside the country
Our documentary highlights challenges the nubian community faces following the inconsiderate process of attaining fundamental national documents #Statelessness#ukweli#IdentityandCitizenship
Then Nubian rights forum would like to wish all kenyans a Happy Madaraka Day.
While we celebrate madaraka, we cannot pretend that it is a happy day. Not when the state of the nation is no different from the colonial days. #NotYetUhuru#notyetmadaraka #aThread#MadarakaDay
There is no madaraka when kenyans are stripped of their dignity and denied to bury their loved ones while those priviledged in the country get decent send offs because somehow, government directives only apply to common mwananchi
What makes us different? #EndPoliceBrutalityKE
