Chapter Development Manager

Mwende Stephanie Muya, WGH Chapter Development Manager, is a young feminist and lawyer with a legal background and seven years of experience in women’s rights, advocacy, partner coordination, organizing for change, program design and implementation, gender-responsive public services, and program evaluation. Her passion has propelled her career growth towards working on youth and women’s rights with both national and international organizations. Prior to joining Women in Global Health, Mwende was a Learning and Impact Coordinator at ActionAid International, Kenya. Mwende has worked in the field of organizing and activism, capacity building, and rights with one basic principle: enabling women and young people to activate their own resources to develop their power to take up leadership in different spaces and seek the change they wish to see in their communities. Part of her advocacy work includes co-organizing the My Dress My Choice peaceful demonstration which led to the inclusion of stripping as an offence in the Security Act. She is a member of two Technical Working Groups: AWLN Kenya – Young Women Caucus and the Young Feminist Leadership Network.
