..Shamed instead of heard Safety shouldn’t depend on who you are, what you’ve survived, or whether you use drugs. We need survivor-centred responses that protect every woman without judgement. Let’s insist on #SafetyWithoutStigma #EndViolence #EndGBV #WomenNest #16Days

Why does stigma matter? Because stigma doesn’t just label women who use drugs it exposes them to violence, denies them services, and blocks their right to safety. 📌 When seeking help, they are: • Blamed instead of protected • Criminalized instead of supported...

Yesterday was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Today, we carry the message forward. Women who use drugs face compounded risks, GBV, HIV, homelessness, and digital violence. Safety and justice aren’t privileges. They’re rights. #EVAWUD #16Days

On Intn'l Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we highlight the pervasive, often hidden violence faced by women & gender-diverse people who use drugs. Criminalisation, stigma, and punitive systems drive harm and must be tackled as part of ending GBV. #EVAWUD2025

...harm instead of protection. This season, we stand for Safety Without Stigma. #16DaysOfActivism #SafetyWithoutStigma #EndDigitalViolence #EndGBV #WomenNest #NoExcuse

As we mark the #16Days of Activism, we’re reminded that violence doesn’t look the same for every woman. For women who use drugs, stigma turns support into punishment both online and offline. It silences their voices, blocks their access to services, and exposes them to more..

Suicide is preventable. For women in recovery, prevention means compassion, harm reduction, and gender-sensitive systems. This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay Women Nest calls for stigma-free support that saves lives. #WomenNest #RecoveryWithDignity #endthestigma #MentalHealth

Addiction is not a moral failure it’s a health issue. What we can choose is compassion. Let’s replace stigma with support and silence with solidarity. #ChooseCompassion #WomenNestKenya #EndStigma

Every second counts in an overdose. Access to Naloxone can mean the difference between life and death. Let’s push for wider availability because no life should be lost to silence. #OverdoseAwareness #WomenNestKenya #EndOverdose

On International Overdose Awareness Day (August 31) we stand together. We stand together to say no more overdose. How are you getting involved? #endoverdose #overdoseaware #naloxonesavelives #IOAD2025 #internationaloverdoseawarenessday #overdoseawarenessday

On Friday, ahead of #IOAD2025 Women Nest Kenya held a sensitization on overdose. Today, as the world marks #IOAD, we affirm that every woman deserves dignity, health & equity. #OneBigFamily #EndOverdose #WomenNestKenya #naloxonesaveslives

Behind every overdose is a story of women, families, and communities deeply impacted. As we approach #IOAD2025, we stand to break the silence, challenge the stigma, and call for responses that protect health and dignity for all. #IOAD2025 #EndOverdose #WomenNest #OneBigFamily

💜 If you're grieving someone lost to overdose, please know you’re not alone. This IOAD, we come together as #OneBigFamily to remember, hold space for love and loss, and find strength in our hope. Every story matters. #IOAD2025 #RememberingWithLove #EndOverdose

As we launch the 16 days of activism campaign,we call for elimination of violence against women who use drugs. Let's build a world that refuses to tolerate violence against women who use drugs anywhere, in any form, once, and for all. #Letsusstandupandspeakout #EVAWUD2024

Globally, women raised issues about the negative effects of incarceration of their life and are in the process of developing advocacy strategies. @catew_mwangi @WHRINetwork @ejaf @SDPcampaign @unwomenafrica @nacada

Women Nest participated in the second virtual international network of formerly incarcerated women (INFIW) convening 2024. The issues discussed included drug policy, #incarceration, and #harmreduction.

Multisectoral collaboration promotes inclusivity and encourages participatory approaches. Women who use drugs sell the products by themselves, thus building their self-esteem and reducing stigmatizing/discriminative perceptions towards them. @catew_mwangi @WomenFirstFund @HRInews

Last week @WomenNest #economicempowerment project got a boost through a collaboration with Nairobi County Social Services department where we got an opportunity to sell our products during the Boda boda sensitization on drugs and safety.

It is International Drug Users Day! We celebrate the strength💪, determination🔒 and resilience🌟 of women who use drugs👭. #IDUD24 @catew_mwangi @UNODC @UNODC_HIV @ejaf @SDPcampaign @INPUD @GlobalFund @GlobalFundWomen

that this is not the case, and women who use drugs and their children have a place to run to when the perpetrator is a husband or boyfriend. Women Nest is currently operating a shelter at Majengo non formal settlement.
