Wevyn Muganda is a young human rights activist from Mombasa, Kenya. She is the Deputy Secretary-General for the United Nations Youth Association of Kenya and serves in the Advisory Board for Mombasa Women Social Justice Centre and Kilifi Social Justice Centre.

She was involved in the development and the pilot implementation of the Mombasa County Action Plan for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism.

In March 2019, she received the ‘She Can’ award for her outstanding work in advancing human rights and increasing access to justice for women affected by violence.

In this conversation, we chat about how Wevyn, with the help of her blog- ‘BEYOND THE LINES’ - https://www.beyondthelines.org/  is changing and disrupting the narratives of violent extremism through raising awareness and educating the online community on how to enhance peace and security. She also has a project, ‘Kauli Zetu Mtaani’ that seeks to amplify the unheard voices of young people in informal spaces through discussions on social issues.

We also talk about her experience leading Mutual Aid Kenya in Mombasa, a Covid-19 response initiative working with communities in informal settlements of Mombasa and Nairobi.
