'No amount of 'happy pills' or ECT was going to make the abuse I was suffering feel like I was having a happy marriage. Why do psychiatrists/society think this is how to cure abuse? It’s the same treatment abuse victims have received for centuries.' https://t.co/tbeZgy29Ha

Recent clips circulating on social media that mock or ridicule individuals on the basis of disability are deeply despicable and unacceptable. Such actions are not mere jokes or "trend challenges " , they perpetuate discrimination, stigma, and harmful stereotypes that continue to

@Kwwdnetwork Its quite unacceptable and very demeaning to any human being to be humiliated as a lesser being while others are there laughing as if there is anything there humurous to laugh about. This must stopped and an action should be taken @gda_kenya @HakiKNCHR @NGEC @

@Kwwdnetwork We condemn the recent remarks targeting Persons with Disabilities. Our Constitution guarantees dignity and equality for all. Let's use our platforms to uplift, not demean. #PWDs #EqualOpportunity #Kenya

@Kwwdnetwork It's so disappointing when leaders rebuke the people they should ensure they are included,the impairment isn't the obstacle but the barriers that such leaders and society are creating which causes disabilities and more harm.

@Kwwdnetwork Shame on leaders who mock persons with disabilities instead of supporting inclusion. Saying they shouldn't join the police is discriminatory and unacceptable. Disability does not limit strength, service or purpose. We deserve respect, not ridicule.

We condemn recent utterances by a Kenyan Member of Parliament humiliating a person with a disability and stating that people with disabilities should not be employed by the police force. This is ableism and it is harmful. Read our statement on this link: https://t.co/zlLtFxoONG
