Life as an activist - Kenya and Africa

How can democracy thrive in places marked by corruption and a restricted civic space? We will talk about Kenya, where disadvantaged populations often have no access to democracy or justice to speak of. In impoverished areas, civil society has taken on basic democratic elements like community initiatives, independent courts, and local policing, often outside the state's organisation.

In non-democratic contexts, activists calling for political change can put their life and safety at risk. How can they promote change when peaceful protest is frequently targeted?

Their journey is courageous, as they work to promote democratic values in an environment that often doesn't allow free expression.
