Twenty years ago, Davin Biyaki founded Women for Justice & Change with a simple yet powerful mission: to give older women and men a voice to be heard and respected. Recognizing the challenges faced by elderly individuals in Kenya, Biyaki sought to create a platform where they could advocate for their rights and demand the dignity they deserve. Through Women for Justice & Change, Biyaki has been instrumental in lobbying for laws that protect the rights of elderly people, ensuring they are not forgotten or marginalized in society.
Women for Justice & Change goes beyond advocacy by equipping elders with the tools they need to thrive. The organization educates them about their rights, empowering them to stand up against abuse and discrimination. Additionally, Women for Justice & Change provides training in group dynamics, leadership, and income-generating projects, enabling elderly individuals to sustain themselves financially and contribute to their communities. These initiatives not only improve their quality of life but also restore their sense of purpose and independence.
The work of Davin Biyaki and Women for Justice & Change is a testament to the power of grassroots activism and the importance of protecting the rights of elderly individuals. By giving elders a voice and equipping them with knowledge and skills, Women for Justice & Change is transforming lives and building a more inclusive society. Their story reminds us that every individual, regardless of age, deserves respect, dignity, and the opportunity to thrive.
