Senator Gloria Orwoba Pushes for Diaspora Participation in Ending Period Shaming

Senator Gloria Orwoba Pushes for Diaspora Participation in Ending Period Shaming

Nominated senator Gloria Orwoba and Principal Secretary for Diaspora, Roseline Njogu, have hatched a plan for the Diaspora public inclusion in the #EndPeriodPoverty campaign. 

The senator lauded their engagement as satisfactory in streamlining a structured channel for dispensing her period poverty campaign across the diaspora. 

Orwoba made headlines when she was kicked out of parliament donning white 'period stained' pants, a move she did to raise awareness of period poverty and shaming.

    So they need help to have grown men to quit acting like kids? This is the same reason Kenya suffers from corruption, grown kids. Mafi ya kuku!

    It is not really a problem in Diaspora now, is it? Know your audience. This should not be a fame campaign. I personally hold reservations about Africans who go before Congress to tell white men that they do not know how to deal with basic things like their daughters periods in their home country. And you wonder why your leaders are bused like sheep during events! The solutions to these problems are in Kenya, not in the diaspora.
