About me

Experienced Advocate advancing women's and children's rights, reproductive justice and education.

I am an advocate of the High Court of Kenya with eight years of post-admission experience. Currently, I serve as the Senior Legal Programs Manager at Women’s Link Worldwide (WLW). In 2019, I was selected as one of five Leadership & Advocacy for Women in Africa (LAWA) fellows. I attended Georgetown University Law Center, where I earned a Master’s in International Legal Studies and a certificate in International Human Rights. I graduated with an LL.B. from Moi University in 2013.

At WLW, I lead the implementation of regional Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programs and provide strategic guidance in public interest litigation cases protecting women’s SRHR rights. I have expertise in preventing gender-based violence and am recognized as one of the young leaders in the conversation surrounding domestic and intimate partner violence. Additionally, I have experience in program implementation across various areas of women’s human rights law, including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), land rights, sexual and reproductive health rights, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.

I hold a special passion for increasing access to reproductive health and rights especially for adolescent girls. To contribute towards the much needed change, I co-founded a community based organization, Thamini Binti which means cherish your daughter to support young girls’ menstrual health and hygiene needs

As a scholar, I have conducted extensive research in areas such as land rights, maternal health, and the rehabilitation system for minors in Kenya. My paper “Women and Land: A Conflict of Culture and Law” was selected for presentation at the World Bank Conference in Washington, D.C., in March 2019.

I am now looking to pursue a PhD in Policy Advocacy in Adolescent Reproductive Justice. Endlessly curious, I remain open to exploring diverse ways to improve the lives of women and girls.
