The notion of structural violence as a form of violence against women arises from the human rights principle by which all governments have the duty to protect, promote and fulfil human dignity, life and health. Structural violence is an “avoidable impairment of fundamental human needs” and is a major contributing factor for premature death and unnecessary disability. This violence is often a result of poor health policies and practices that harm or fail to protect citizens from avoidable violations, deaths and injustices; policies and practices which are subsequently institutionalized by health administrators, financial/budget decision makers, medical doctors, and other health workers.

  1. Nancy Imali

    Good day!
    I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nancy, a radio journalist working with a community/learning radio station in Kakamega, Western Kenya and I run a weekly radio programme on HIV and AIDS in conjuction with the AIDS CONTROL UNIT at my place of work; 103.9 MMUST FM.

    I have read widely about your activities, and I am most interested to further know what you do, other activities that you undertake here in Kenya, and if there’s a way that your organization can incorporate radio journalists in your team to help spread your agenda. Especially those that produce programs in tandem with your agenda.

    May I ask, do you have a network of journalists across the region that are able to help with your agenda? My interest lies with the possibility that I might be able to generate news stories from activities you undertake or positive broadcast programs to our listener-ship and much more.

    Awaiting a positive response from you.

    Kind Regards,
    Nancy Imali
