About Us - WCK
We are a Grassroot movement resisting oppression, injustices and Inequalities. We provide a platform for women to voice their experiences & struggles
At Women Collective Kenya, we embrace the politics of rest as a revolutionary act. With the support of CIVICUS, we convened grassroots human rights defenders for a transformative self-care session. Recognizing the trauma and exhaustion that often accompany their vital work, we reaffirm that there is no revolution without rest—and no revolution without a dance.

The Intergalactic Conference on Resistance Studies
As Women Collective Kenya, we were honored to be part of the First Intergalactic Conference on Resistance Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst — a powerful gathering exploring how communities resist, organize, and create pathways toward liberation. As the session came to a close, our Executive Director, Ruth Mumbi, reflected during the panel on a truth that continues to guide our work:
World Water Day – March 22nd 2025 – Water Justice working groups
Water rights in Kenya are facing a dire threat from efforts to introduce privatization. The recent passing of the Water Act (Amendment) 2023 to introduce so-called Private Public Partnerships (PPPs) creates a long term genuine risk to water access. These risks include potential increases in water tariffs.
International Safe Abortion Day 2023
One in 7 women die each day in Kenya due to unsafe abortion while over 21,000 are hospitalized. Unsafe abortion costs our country around half a billion shillings every year in direct hospital costs. It costs Kshs. 20,000 for women to undergo safe abortion. 30 % of maternal deaths in Kenya are as a result of unsafe abortion. Children of mothers who undergo unsafe abortion are more likely to die in two years.

The Feminist Action Network on Predatory Lending (FANPEL) provided much needed Mental Health and Psychosocial Support for loanees and guarantors of Girls First Finance/Kenya who are facing aggressive collection practices and numerous lawsuits arising from toxic debts. https://t.co/vsFZd5uInu
