Listen on

Episode notes

Good things come in doubles! On this special bonus episode, our guests dive deeper into age-appropriate sexuality education. In a candid conversation, Ustadha Aisha and Margaret Nyambura discuss reservations, myths and misconceptions. The conversation starts on a question to Ustadha Aisha: “As a religious leader and teacher, when you hear the term ‘comprehensive sexual education’, what does that mean to you, and what concerns does it raise for you?”  

Ustadha Aisha and Margaret Nyambura have both been guests on this Faith, Freedom and Feminism series. In case you haven’t, do tune into those episodes as well.

Ustadha Aisha is an Islamic teacher running a community-based organization, Soma Mama CBO, and a community centre, Darul Kheir Community Centre, both in Mukuru slums. Through her initiatives, Ustadha advocates for the education of Muslim women. 

Margaret Nyambura is an advocate of the High Court of Kenya. She serves as Program Coordinator at the Kenya Legal & Ethical Issues Network on HIV and AIDS (KELIN). She is a Catholic who’s passionate about health law, and access to SRHR.
