Jaya KAmsterdam, Netherlands
2 Mar 2025

We’ve now reached over 22,400 signatures, and your commitment is making a real difference! 

This issue continues to demand attention, and if raised in the House of Representatives, we have another critical opportunity to address the serious concerns surrounding the visit. Despite our meeting with the Dutch Human Rights Ambassador, Wim Geerts on 6/2/2025, we remain steadfast in our efforts to call for the reconsideration of, and raise concerns about the Dutch royal state visit to Kenya planned for 18th of March 2025.

We’ve been invited to present our petition, now with over 22,400 signatures, next week in the House of Representatives. This is a key moment for us to continue amplifying our message, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to engage directly with decision-makers. The Commission for Foreign Trade will also be in attendance, and this provides another critical platform to raise our concerns.

We’ve already achieved several key victories in this campaign:

  1. Over 22,400 signatures have been gathered, demonstrating the broad public concern. Thank you!
  2. Our meeting with the Dutch Human Rights Ambassador on 6/2/2025 helped bring these concerns to the forefront of diplomatic discussions.
  3. Media attention in both Kenya and the Netherlands, with several outlets picking up on the cause and amplifying the message.
  4. Increased awareness in both Kenya and the Netherlands, mobilizing support from diverse communities and organizations.
  5. Wider political support from members of the Dutch Parliament who have expressed concern about the visit and are advocating for the issues raised.
  6. A formal invitation to present our petition in the Dutch House of Representatives, giving us a direct platform to continue to voice our concerns.

Together, we’ve already achieved so much, and we continue to make a difference. Our voices, collective effort and commitment to justice & accountability have brought us this far. We are definitely making a tangible impact, and this victory wouldn’t have been possible without your action. Your support truly, truly matters.

Asanteni sana.
