Catholic activists under their umbrella organization CitizenGo have organized a march around the streets of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, to shine a spotlight on policies that are harming the sanctity of life in the East African nation.
Dubbed “March for Life”, the event slated for Saturday, March 23 aims to raise awareness on pro-life policies that should be promoted in the country.
CitizenGo Campaigns Director for Africa and the United Nations, Ann Kioko, wrote to ACI Africa on Wednesday, March 20, announcing the march that has been set to commence at 8:00 AM from the Moi Avenue Primary School in the Kenyan capital, and conclude at noon.
The Kenyan official of CitizenGo Africa said participants in this year’s march organized under the theme, “Defending Human Life: Advocating for Pro-Life Policies”, will “unite to defend the dignity of human life through impactful policies.”
“We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, starting from the moment of conception until natural death. The aim of the event is to raise awareness and advocate for policies that uphold and protect the sanctity of life,” she said.
