State of the African Union (SOTU) is a coalition of 10 civil society organisations that seek to promote active citizenship, effective national governance and the realization of the fundamental freedoms and human rights contained in various key AU policy standards and legal instruments.
Who is Fahamu? Fahamu is a Pan-African social justice organisation established in 1997, with programme offices in Kenya and Senegal. Fahamu aims to support the building of progressive pan-African social movements by stimulating debate, discussions and analysis, building a culture of respect for human dignity, supporting social justice advocacy and publishing and disseminating information using both new and conventional media.
What is this campaign about? The African Union (AU) has over forty legal instruments, policy standards and decisions some of which Kenya has committed to and is at different stages of signing, ratifying, domesticating or adhering to. These instruments cover a wide area of freedoms, rights and aspirations. The #BeTheVoice campaign is aimed at informing Kenyan citizens of these rights and freedoms, and empowering them to claim these rights.
What will this campaign look like? Among the activities we have organized for this campaign are debates and discussions in various Universities and colleges within the country, debates and discussions on social media, concerts for musicians and other artist, radio talks and publications. All especially targeting youth. |
