On 25 March 2026, a female Grade 10 student visiting the Kenyan Senate under the School Voluntary Service Scheme was publicly humiliated and objectified by UDA Nominated Senator, Karen Nyamu, during an open Senate session before the full House. A child who entered Parliament to learn about leadership and democracy instead had her dignity violated in the country’s highest legislative chamber by a state officer entrusted to uphold and protect the rights of children. The incident represents not only a serious abuse of power but a troubling disregard for the constitutional obligation to safeguard the dignity and best interests of every child.

Sign this petition calling on the Angolan authorities to immediately release activist General Nila and uphold his rights to liberty, due process, and a fair trial. No one should be detained arbitrarily or denied justice for peacefully exercising their rights.

Every day in Kenya, children miss school, parents lose jobs, and older persons remain confined to their homes, not because they lack strength or determination, but because they lack something as basic as a prosthetic limb, a wheelchair, a hearing aid, or crutches.

Young Kenyans mobilized peacefully, both online and offline, to demand accountability and economic justice during the #RejectFinanceBill protests in 2024. In response, Kenyan security agencies have cracked down on young people’s right to protest through smear campaigns, harassment, surveillance, disappearances, and even killings of young activists. The digital platform X allowed state-sponsored groups to spread coordinated disinformation and harassment against activists, whilst Kenya’s largest telecommunications company, Safaricom, failed to investigate claims of illegal data sharing that is alleged to have allowed security agencies to track down young protesters. This petition calls for bold action, accountability, and protection of Kenya’s digital civic space.

Investigations by Amnesty International Kenya, Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, Independent Medico-Legal Unit, and Medics for Kenya have documented the following concerning events from that day:

“Consequently, we find that Section 204 of the Penal Code is inconsistent with the Constitution and invalid to the extent that it provides for the mandatory death sentence for murder.”

The recent flash floods have left thousands of Kenyans homeless, with many houses destroyed by the unforgiving waters. To make matters worse, the government chose to evict residents living on riparian land in Nairobi’s informal settlements under the guise of evacuation. A mere 48-hour notice was given, which was grossly insufficient. Residents watched in despair as what little they had left was deliberately destroyed by a government that should have protected them in their most vulnerable moments. This incident was not isolated; a similar trend was observed during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The world is reaping a harvest of terrifying consequences from escalating conflict and the near breakdown of international law, said Amnesty International as it launched its annual The State of the World’s Human Rights report today, delivering an assessment of human rights in 155 countries.

The lives of women in Kenya are in constant danger simply because they are women. The indifference of the Kenyan government to protect them can no longer be ignored.

17-year-old Eugine Muriithi was a form one student in Kanjiunduthi boys’ high school in Tharaka Nithi County who allegedly met his death at the hands of police officers after a riot broke out in his school.

Younger users say that they feel TikTok is toxic and addictive. This means that they are at risk of falling into addictive patterns when using the platform and having harmful content displayed in their “For You” feed. Children and young people who view mental health-related content in TikTok’s feed can also be drawn into seeing more videos promoted in their feed that discuss, romanticise and encourage depressive thoughts, self-harm, and suicide.

Dear fellow human rights activists. We write with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency. The situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories has deteriorated dramatically in the past few days, leading to the death of over 2,000 (Palestinian and Israeli) people within days.
