Mary Otucho Emase, MP for Teso South Constituency, linked economic empowerment with meaningful participation in public decision-making. Participants explored market opportunities, product pricing, financial records, cash flow and business growth.Hon. Emaase captured the importance of accountability and tracking progress: “That which you cannot measure cannot grow.”The practical experiences shared reflected what access to capital, resilience and determination can achieve. From starting with second-hand clothes, a business owner shared how she had grown to selling new clothes in Nairobi, Kisumu and across the border in Uganda, with financial institutions helping provide capital for expansion.Public participation and gender-responsive budgeting are equally important to this growth. When women understand how public resources are planned and allocated, they are better positioned to influence priorities, demand accountability and advocate for investments that respond to their needs.Empowered women do not only grow businesses; they shape decisions, influence public resources and drive development in their communities.#womeninpoliticske #PublicParticipation ...

Beatrice Elachi CBS said stigma remains a major barrier to mental health care. She called for greater awareness and education to address misconceptions and encourage people to seek professional support.The training, organised by KEWOPA in partnership with NIVISHE Foundation and Solidarity Alliance, focused on mental health as part of overall wellbeing. Participants discussed how prolonged stress, difficult experiences, social pressures and trauma can affect how people think, feel and function, and the importance of recognising changes early.Women in public life can face added pressure from public scrutiny, social media criticism, demanding engagements and limited time for self-care. But mental health concerns affect everyone, including individuals, families, workplaces and communities.Participants also practised grounding and resilience exercises to manage pressure, regain focus and create space for recovery.𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬.
