To deliver Amnesty International Kenya's overall theory of change, I design, manage, and evaluate strategic campaigns, litigation, and other actions. In my work, I focus on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, with a particular emphasis on digital rights, the right to life, criminal justice and police reforms, non-discrimination, and civic space protection. As part of my work to secure human rights, democracy, and good governance, I conduct, design, and publish research pieces to inform policy dialogues with duty-bearers, rights holders, and other stakeholders, including the public, policymakers, courts, legislators, and the media.
