#IWD Highlight In Kajiado, Kenya, Every Woman Fellow Saraphina Anjia led vital discussions with 200 students on breaking gender barriers, ensuring menstrual health is normalized, not stigmatized, and how a new Optional Protocol to CEDAW can work to lower rates of violence against women and girls. The key message? You have the power to accelerate change. This was not just about awareness; it was about equipping young minds to challenge stereotypes and systems and advocate for a more inclusive world. The conversations encouraged students to embrace equality, normalize menstrual health, and advocate for a future that is inclusive and free from violence - real change happens when everyone is part of the conversation!? Much appreciation to SHIKISHA PAD CHANGEMAKERS Foundation for the invitation! #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #EveryWomanTreaty
