Mashinani Women operates with the goal of creating a safe and inclusive environment where women can freely discuss, access, and advocate for their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), as well as address the challenges surrounding GBV and mental health using stories, focus group discussions, and other engaging techniques. We believe in a holistic approach that takes into account the diverse experiences, needs, and disparities within our target demographic.

We need to hear the voices and experiences of people from different ethnic backgrounds, races, religious background, geographic locations, social classes, We cannot assume the interconnected nature of the different aspects in a woman’s life. Let’s take Wangari Maathai as an example. She fought for environmental justice due to her relationship with nature when growing up. But, was it the only reason? We all experience discrimination from the patriarchal systems in our own unique ways but it should not stop us from unifying to fight for equity. Because we can all embrace equity.
