This is a reflection on what the justice system looks like in Kilifi for le***an, bis*xual and q***r womn.

For many LBQ persons in Kilifi, justice does not feel accessible.
It feels distant.
And sometimes, it feels unsafe.
Imagine experiencing violence and having to ask yourself: Will reporting this bring help... or more harm and retraumatization.

Our community shares that they are not taken seriously when they try to report cases .
Others say they are questioned in ways that feel judgmental, or blamed for what happened to them.
In some situations, fear becomes the biggest barrier.

Fear of stigma, fear of being outed and fear of retaliation from family, community, or even authorities.

But beyond these challenges, LBQ persons in Kilifi continue to support each other, create informal networks of care, speak, even when it is difficult and seek justice, even when the system makes it hard.

Justice should not depend on who you are or who you love.

A fair justice system must be safe, inclusive and accessible to everyone.

We must do better, as a community and as a system.

Being "afraid of nothing" embodies the courage needed to speak up, confront prejudice and occupy space even when doing so is risky or uncomfortable. When taken as a whole, Lorde emphasises the need to pursue justice and equality with unwavering courage and deliberate action.

Audre reminds us that, we need to actively promote gender equality by making thoughtful, calculated decisions to bring about change rather than waiting for it to occur.

Today marks International S*x Workers' Rights Day.
S*x workers in all their diversities deserve safety, dignity, respect and freedom from stigma, discrimination and violence.

S*x work is work

Decriminalize s*x work

For many of us the internet is a space for connection, support and community. But it can also be a space for harassment, scams and threats.

That’s why our message is simple:
Click Smart, Not Fast.

Pause.
Verify.
Protect your identity.

Lorde argues that systems of oppression cannot be dismantled using the same methods, values and structures that created them.

The master’s house = systems of power.

The master’s tools = the rules, hierarchies and exclusionary practices those systems use to maintain control.

As q***r Kenyans are forced to survive within colonial-era laws, religious condemnation and political scapegoating. Liberation cannot come from appealing to the very structures designed to deny our humanity. Real change requires reimagining power, thinking more creatively about what feminist structures and futures we want to build for ourselves.

Happy Valentine's week ❤️

Existing as who you are is not a crime: it’s an act of courage, an act of love and an act of resistance.

Remember: you deserve rest, you deserve joy and you deserve to be here. We carry each other forward.
