Join us on August 15th 2023 at Baraza Media Lab for the Release of a Report on Online Health Scams for Sale

In Kenya as elsewhere in Africa, there are two primary drivers of online scams; disinformation-for-hire networks and weak oversight and moderation by technology companies related to ensuring safety standards for their products. Women are particularly targeted by the SRH scams due to various factors, including societal pressures, gender-specific health concerns, and predatory marketing strategies. The rise of social media is posing increasing challenges in contemporary consumer protection due to proliferation of online mis/disinformation on health products, the role of uninformed and or complicit influencers and weak oversight by the social media companies.  
Join us on 15th August 2023as we unravel the nature, scale, and impact of these scams.
