The GBV Prevention and Support Program aims to prevent and respond to all forms of gender-based violence, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and to provide survivor-centered support. The program focuses on prevention through education and awareness-raising, support services for survivors, and advocacy to address the root causes of GBV, such as gender inequality, harmful cultural practices, and lack of legal protection.
In regions like Wajir, where deeply entrenched gender norms and limited access to justice systems exacerbate the vulnerability of women and girls, this program works to create a safe and supportive environment where survivors can access the services they need, while also fostering a culture of zero tolerance for GBV within the community.
