Shikoh works to address the negative impact of ethnicity among Kenyan youth. Through Tribless Youth, Shikoh works on shifting the politics from ethnicity to one based on issues, thus promoting peaceful co-existence. The group utilizes artivism, social media engagement, and traditional communication methods. Tribeless Youth’s decentralized leadership and operational structure, broadly online,  gives it an edge over the traditional formal human rights advocacy outfits.

Since the outfit Shikoh works with, the Tribless Youth, is self-organized and mobilized, they face the challenges of raising funding for some of their activities. Members have also “experienced people sent as spies to our meetings, being followed home, and intimidations from some quarters of the county in the county government.”

“One of the significant issues we have addressed is arbitrary arrests, which often target young activists advocating for a more just society. By raising awareness about these injustices and utilizing our network, we have successfully contributed to the release of unjustly detained activists and raised the profile of these issues, leading discussions towards positive changes within the legal system.”

Addressing the negative ethnicity is a positive undertaking, especially considering its impact on governance. The targeting of the youth, and the point where they spend of most of their time, on social media platforms, and through other medium that suits them is admirable.
