Teenage pregnancy. Child marriage. FGM. GBV. HIV. School dropout. Named. Owned. Being solved, together.

Opening the 9th RHNK Pan-African Adolescent and Youth SRHR Scientific Conference, Ms. @nellymunyasia, challenged delegates to remember the millions of young people across Africa who continue to face barriers to information, services, protection, and opportunities. As Executive Director of @rhnkorg, standing at the opening of our Pan‑African Conference was a powerful reminder of our shared starting point. So many of us grew up without the information we needed to understand our bodies and our choices — and we wished things had been different. This conference, and this network, exist to ensure that the next generation across Africa grows up with honesty, trust, and dignity, rather than silence. She called for urgent action to address the interconnected challenges of adolescent pregnancies, HIV, and sexual and gender-based violence, while placing youth agency at the centre of solutions. Nelly emphasized that young people are not merely beneficiaries of programmes but leaders, innovators, and architects of change whose voices and lived experiences must shape policies and investments across the continent. As the conference begins, delegates from across Africa are coming together to exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and advance bold solutions that will enable every young person to realize their full potential. 🎥 Watch the conference opening live: youtube.com/live/Mx4MYVYGc… #RHNKPanAfricanConference2026

.@KELINKenya is honored to participate in the 87th session of the @ACHPR in Banjul, Gambia- celebrating the 45th Anniversary of the Adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights under the African Union theme: “Year of Water Sustainability: Assuring Sustainable Water Availability & Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063.” Addressing the Commission this morning, @MilimuElsie drew attention to the lived realities of women and girls across our continent attempting to access clean water, highlighting the indivisibility of their right to water security and reproductive health rights. She called upon African Union Member States to: ✅Reaffirm that access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene is an essential enabler of the right to health and reproductive rights, ✅Prioritize integrated investments in WASH and SRHR systems, ✅Strengthen accountability mechanisms during state reporting, and encourage increased domestic financing for both health and water systems, in line with the Abuja Declaration and States’ obligations under regional human rights instruments.

Over the past days, I have been part of the #UPR4thCycle consultation with fellow CSOs, convened by @cehurduganda and @EACHRights amplifying the need for affordable and inclusive health services for everyone, including persons with disabilities. The #UPR process is an inclusive human rights mechanism that brings together national frameworks like the Persons with Disabilities Act 2020 and global standards such as the #UNCRPD ensuring no one is left behind and driving action towards equitable and inclusive health for all. These are among the key laws and policies that guide disability inclusion in health. #HealthForAll #TwezuuleFoundation
