Recently, we participated in the premiere of Tuki, a TV series launched as part of the Tukisonga Campaign by @girleffect. The launch featured a preview of the TV series, set to air on mainstream channels. The series offers a compelling portrayal of the challenges, dreams, and aspirations of young women, aligning with the campaign’s broader vision of empowerment and social impact. Key moments included opening remarks from representatives of local leadership and @girleffect leadership, followed by a panel discussion led by a @MOH_Kenya representative, who highlighted the government’s role in policy-making and establishing guidelines to ensure adolescents and youth have access to Sexual and Reproductive Health services. The panel also featured a testimony from a young person who has directly benefited from @girleffect’s initiatives, emphasizing the tangible impact of the campaign. This event strongly resonated with our ongoing efforts to advocate for transformative change for adolescents and young people. Tuki and the broader Tukisonga Campaign serve as powerful tools for sparking conversations, fostering empowerment and improving access to essential SRH services among youth, reflecting shared goals and values across the sector. #RHNKImpact #RHNK4SRHR
