Women living with HIV in Kenya are filing human rights lawsuit on International Human Rights Day to challenge the practice of forced and/or coerced sterilization of women living with HIV in Kenya.
Nairobi, Kenya 10th December, 2014 – At Milimani Law Courts
The International Community of Women Living with HIV – Kenya (ICW-K) in collaboration with ICW Eastern Africa and ICW Global stand in solidarity with the Kenyan women living with HIV who have filed a lawsuit on this International Human Rights Day seeking justice after being forcibly and/or coercively sterilized because of their HIV status. These women represent many other women living with HIV in Kenya and around the world who have and are continuously experiencing violation of their sexual, reproductive and health rights, and whose ability to have children is taken away against their will hence negative impact on their gender identity as women.
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
