Mary: Advocating for Girls Rights
FIH gives girls opportunities to change, grow, and most importantly, achieve their dreams. The experience at FIH molds us to be better and stronger women in society.

I believe that both boys and girls are equal. I want to stand as a role model for girls who have been in the same situation as mine, I want for them to stand tall and know that they will overcome it.

When I share my story, I hope that survivors suffering in silence will find hope and reach out for support.

As a healthcare provider, I will advocate for health facilities to create one-stop centers for survivors and for those who are vulnerable.

My biggest dream is to help reduce the percentage of women working in prostitution, both within my community and other communities throughout Kenya.

I moved from mere struggles of poverty to living in slavery. My life there was full of tears, sorrow, harassment, and pain.

My hope is to see that every learner in school is supported, included in all activities, and fully accepted within their community.

I will be an advocate and will walk with them towards justice if that is where their healing can be found.

So many young women are sexually harassed as they search for jobs. I am committed to encouraging young people who are survivors to share their stories.
