Who We Are
About Us
“This was the first time Deaf women were invited to participate alongside hearing women in a forum of this nature since its inception.”
Kenya National Deaf Women Peace Network (KNDWPN) is a Community-Based Organization which was formed out of a unique experience of individual Deaf women. Some Deaf women participated in a National Women's Peace and Human Rights Workshop in Nairobi organized by Women United for Peace - Kenya (WUPI) in 2002. It marked the beginning of spirited efforts to participate in other forums and to forge new networks, as members became intensely aware of what they had been missing out on, such as the violation of their right to information and the benefits of exercising their right to freedom of expression on issues affecting them in their daily lives. The lessons learned, the knowledge gained, and the passion and insight it created were enough reason to form a new organization to look after the interests and needs of Deaf women on matters of human rights, health, leadership, advocacy, and resource mobilization. Kenya National Deaf Women Peace Network was thus born.
