STATEMENT BY WOMEN COLLECTIVE KENYA AGAINST THE INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ON COMMUNITIES LIVING IN INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS
We reject the narrative that blames the most marginalized communities in Nairobi, especially those living in informal settlements, for the pollution of the Nairobi River. This narrative not only shifts attention away from the need for the government to provide equal access to a clean environment under Article 42 of the constitution to the search for scapegoats in communities neglected by the heritage of Nairobi’s racialized colonial past. Sadly, instead of prioritizing equitable access to essential services, the government continues reinforcing the deeply rooted inequalities that persist in our society.
Beyond Exploitation and Abuse
Human migration in pursuit of opportunities is a phenomenon that has taken place throughout human history. With technological advancements, increased globalisation in the 21st century, conflict, and the ripple effect of climate change, different opportunities and tragedies have emerged across the world triggering mass movements of people across borders. Foreign labour markets that offer higher pay and opportunities for personal and professional development today attract millions of Africans. For most Kenyans, the desire to migrate in pursuit of such opportunities is mainly caused by; lack of job prospects, low incomes, social insecurity, bureaucracy, poverty, corruption, and the desire for personal or professional gratitude. The lack of policy frameworks and governance measures that would create an environment for equitable development and professional growth additionally drives thousands of people into seeking job opportunities in foreign labour markets.
We shall win!
Inspired by the gallant women that contributed to the independence struggle in Kenya against British imperialism and dedicated to all women who continue to resist against the oppressive neo-colonial regimes.

What we Stand For
Intellectual restoration
African people, like all other peoples, are bearers of civilizational seeds that have blossomed throughout history. Finding its first known fruition in ancient Egypt, there existed a consistent building and renewing of civilizations until the advent of the colonial state.
Economic self-determination
Our people live in saddening conditions marked by gut-wrenching poverty, are deprived of basic needs, their rights to self-determination, barred from their lands, and are everyday humiliated and subjugated in a world completely laid to waste by capitalism.
Ecological sovereignty
Today, large multinational corporations are waging war on the sovereignty of land, seed and food systems on the African continent and beyond. As the African savannah disappears to be replaced by an ever encroaching desert and concrete, our seeds are concurrently being patented and small farm holdings criminalized.
