Thank you for sharing this Lily, Following Rita Waeni's tragic murder and dismemberment in an Airbnb property, it's imperative that Airbnb and taxi hailing apps are also included in this conversation and be forced to implement measures to safeguard children from exploitation aided by their platforms. And yes I know Rita was 20, how naive/smart were you at that age? On Wed, Jan 31, 2024 at 9:03 AM Watoto Watch Network via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
