Episode Description

Eszter Kismodi, Chief Executive of SRHM, is joined by Allan Maleche (KELIN), Mercy Kalemela and Audrey Bigeti (Girls to Women Kenya) to explore how extractive industries are reshaping land, power and sexual and reproductive health and rights in Kenya.

Focusing on gold mining in Kakamega County, the episode examines land dispossession, mercury exposure, gender-based violence and the everyday health risks faced by women and girls, while situating these harms within a broader global pattern of extractivism.

A timely conversation on development, justice and why SRHR must be central to debates on land and resource extraction.
