We mobilize, organise and strengthen networks, structures and mechanisms for prevention and effective response to VAWG at all levels. This includes establishment and/or strengthening of community working groups, community VAWG resource centers, as well as support to champions of change and community resource persons.
GBVEngage in advocacy for policy and legislative enactment and implementation. In particular, push for the full implementation of the Sexual Offences Act, Anti-FGM Act and the Protection against Domestic Violence Act. Also participate in the annual 16 days of activism campaigns implementation of the ‘TupeNafasi Initiative and “Sisters’ Keeper”’.
We undertake education initiatives to create awareness for community and citizens at large on VAWG, including through the social and mainstream media. This will include anti FGM and early marriages campaigns e.g. “Let’s educate our daughters”.
Strengthening community social safe guards to reduce the vulnerability to and effects of VAWG towards women and girls. This will include enhancing access to safe spaces/ shelter, psychosocial and legal support for survivors of VAWG. Also to initiate and establish working mechanisms for prevention and response to VAWG in the transport industry.
Establish referral mechanisms and networks within communities as well as with County Governments (e.g. gender sub-committees amongst others ) to formulate and implement policy on SGBV
Provide support towards civic driven change by sensitizing/ mentorship of the community members, including men and elders, to take actions that prevent and respond rapidly and effectively to VAWG. This would include provision of rescue services to survivors of violence, and be able to re-integrate them back to the community.
