We Were Not Taught
An intergenerational storytelling campaign that examines the silences women and girls inherit across different parts of life, and how those silences shape their choices, safety, health, relationships, care responsibilities, and sense of self.
The Period In Between
A puberty and menstruation campaign rooted in community workshops in Mathare and Kibera, challenging silence and shame around young women’s bodies.
- How does your organisation approach the relational dimensions of adolescent health?

Unmothering The Woman
A campaign that challenged the narratives imposed on women in Kenya through storytelling, community engagement, and digital advocacy.
Un-mothering the Woman (UTW) is a feminist storytelling movement aimed at dismantling stereotypes peddled by societies against women. Aside from religious and cultural ideals that cloud the pursuit of equality for women, society has created images of what and how a woman should look and behave. The unfounded standards set for women have actively worked against the realisation of rights and agency for most women.
