It defines Kenya’s interests, values, and priorities on the world stage—shaping diplomacy, trade, peace, and development.

Crystal Asige Foundation hosts editors to push disability inclusion

Crystal Asige Foundation will hold a breakfast meeting with the Kenya Editors Guild to discuss awarenesscreation, popularisation and implementation of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025. 

The meeting will be held at Eka Hotel, Mombasa Road, Nairobi.

Act represents a significant leap forward in advancing the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities in Kenya.

As storytellers and shapers of public discourse, the media has been seen as an essential role to play in amplifying these voices and ensuring that the lived experiences of persons with disabilities are represented with accuracy, empathy, and respect.

The session will provide an opportunity to share key highlights of the new law, explore its implications for inclusive communication, and discuss how collaborations could promote awareness and accountability in its implementation.

Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025 was assented to by William Ruto on May 8, 2025 and came into force on May 27, 2025.

It replaces the previous law, the Persons with Disabilities Act, Cap.133 (2003), thereby updating the legal framework in line with the Constitution of Kenya.

The Act is designed to give effect to constitutional rights of persons with disabilities—ensuring equality, non-discrimination, inclusion, accessibility, and participation.
