 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

 Kenya hails first rollout of HIV prevention drug Lenacapavir


Kenya began administering the first dose of a groundbreaking HIV prevention drug in a Nairobi slum on Thursday.


Lenacapavir, taken twice a year, has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV transmission by more than 99.9 percent, though it is technically a chemical drug rather than a vaccine because it does not train the immune system.


"Today is a moment of hope for thousands of Kenyan families," Health Minister Aden Duale said during the rollout, AFP reported.


Kenya was among nine African countries selected last year to introduce lenacapavir, which has already been introduced in South Africa, Eswatini and Zambia since December.


There are roughly 1.3 million people living with HIV in Kenya, with the highest burden among those aged 15 to 24.


‘Renewed strength’


"Many of our young people still face the risk of infection... this innovation gives us renewed strength in our national fight against HIV," Duale, said adding that the drug will be free to those receiving it.


Last week, Kenya received its first batch of 21,000 doses through a deal with lenacapavir's manufacturer, Gilead Sciences, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS.


Lenacapavir offers greater privacy compared to regularly visits to health clinics for treatment, said Carol Njomo, a community health worker in Nairobi's Kawangware area, where the first doses were administered.


"This is an added protection," said Samson Mutua, 27, the first person to receive the injection.
