Peter Salasia has sparked reactions online after addressing the issue of Kenyan girls being exploited on social media. According to Salasia, even if foreign men target young Kenyan women through online interactions, such situations are not irreversible. He emphasized that despite temporary harm, the strength and resilience of these girls allow them to recover and come back stronger.
Salasia also highlighted the broader concern of online exploitation, stressing that physical beauty or charm alone does not determine a person’s future or value. He referred to digital tools and media as means that can either be misused or leveraged for empowerment, noting that support and guidance can help girls navigate challenges posed by online predators.
This statement reflects ongoing debates in Kenya about the safety of young people on social media, the risks of online relationships with foreigners, and the importance of education and awareness in protecting vulnerable populations. Salasia’s remarks serve as both a warning and a message of hope, encouraging resilience and vigilance among young Kenyan women.
