🌈For #pridemonth2022 we will be holding our 2nd debate this Friday. The motion will be;

"THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT THE  BEST MEANS TO PROTECT LGBTIQ IDENTIFYING AND PERCEIVED CHILDREN IS THROUGH TRAINING EDUCATIONAL PRACTITIONERS"

This motion was inspired by the previous statements made by Professor Magoha about Gay kids, stating that they hop from bed to bed and that they should be "good homosexuals"

And we will be broadcasting the debate live on our IG, so you won't miss a thing😁

We are very excited for this one!

#Blackmail and Extortion are crimes under Kenyan law. The Kenya penal code, Section 300, outlaws extortion and states 'Any person who, with the intent to extort or gain anything from any person accuses or threatens to accuse any person of committing any felony or misdemeanor...is guilty of a felony and the offender is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years'

Victims of blackmail and extortion experience psychological,financial and physical trauma which sometimes leaves them embrassed, confused and scared to seek help through the Kenyan justice systems.

LESS TALK: FREE BLEEDING

💧As a way to commemorate Menstrual Hygiene Day which is marked on 28th May, we had one of our own @anna_mwaura talk to us about Free Bleeding. 

💧Free bleeding is a practise of menstruating without blocking or collecting the period flow.Free bleeding is not a new phenomena as it was practised in ancient times. Then,  menstrual blood was thought of as magical(it still is)

💧Some people may choose to free bleeding as a form to bring awareness to those without access to menstrual hygiene products, others do it to shed the stigma attached to period blood and for some like @anna_mwaura it's cause they feel more comfortable compared to using tampons, pads or cups.

You can share with us your experience with free bleeding in the comments and if you've been curious about this is your sign to try it out💧

👅Fetishization occurs when people become an obj
👅Fetishization occurs when people become an object of sexual desire due to their identity. 

#Fetishization on Social Media: 
You can see this on various trends on the social media app “Tiktok,” where they will commonly have trends that highly suggest fetishization. For example, there is a trend where women will pretend to kiss other women, cover the camera, and will send it to their male significant other. This is fetishization because of the fact that they are showing sapphic sexuality solely for a man’s pleasure. 
There is also another trend where straight men said that they were able to convert lesbians into heterosexuality. This is obviously false because if they identified as lesbians, they would not have sex with men, due to their lack of attraction towards them🤡

#Fetishization of Lesbians in Music
In most rap music, it isn’t uncommon to find lesbians being fetishized. For example, in Drake’s album “Certified Lover Boy.” One of the songs featured is “Girls Want Girls” he says “You say you a lesbian, girl me too” He seems to say this as a way to relate to lesbian sexuality and to try to get with this woman who is clearly disinterested in him. 

💧Lesbians aren’t viewed in relation to their value for themselves, they are viewed in relation to their value for men. This can lead to lesbians and other sapphic identities being invalidated and primarily viewed for their sexual value. This can lead to violence in real life, with lesbians being subject to sexual violence, 
fetishized, and forced into uncomfortable situations strictly due to their sexual identity.

🔸️Yesterday at our Safe Space we tackled the topic #Pleasure of The Body. 

🔹️#What Pleasure means to us?
🔹️#Which parts of the body feel Pleasure? 
🔹️#How do we like to be given Pleasure? 
🔹️#How do we give pleasure?
🔹️#If we self-pleasure?

We then engaged in a small activity of drawing our pleasure points on the body then watched the movie The Principles of Pleasure.

Hii session ilitufanya turealize vyenye ile information tuko nayo on sex and intimacy and pleasure is lacking. And it is something we need to dive deeper into and break it down into smaller topics like consent, toys, safe sex etc.

To be on the lookout for the next session, become a member of one of our cohorts as the communication is done in those WhatsApp groups. If interested do Dm us.

This #pridemonth2022 we held our third edition of Safe Space Dialogue that has been a continuous series on 'Sex and Pleasure'. We talked about about Turn-ons and Turn-offs in which we explored both sexual and non-sexual turn ons and turn offs. What kept coming up from this conversation is that most of us do not know how to communicate, we would prefer to ghost someone that tell them things that they do that we do not like.

Overall it really was a wholesome conversation💛
