Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a pervasive problem in many societies around the world. It affects people of all ages, genders, and races, and it can happen in any setting. GBV refers to any act or behavior that causes physical, sexual, or psychological harm to a person based on their gender. This includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, r**e, and other forms of violence.

Preventing GBV requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the root causes of the problem. This includes creating a safe and supportive environment, addressing the risk factors that contribute to GBV, and responding effectively to cases of GBV. Preventing GBV is a shared responsibility, and everyone has a role to play in ending this pervasive problem. It is only through collective efforts that we can create a world where everyone is safe and free from GBV.

We at WDF focus on educating communities that have a critical role to play in fighting GBV. By raising awareness, creating safe spaces, holding perpetrators accountable, changing attitudes and behaviors, and building support networks, communities can help to prevent GBV from happening and support those who are affected by it. Fighting GBV requires a collective effort, and communities have a vital role to play in creating a world where everyone is safe and free from violence.

And we have finally kicked off with the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV 🥳

About Tonight, we get to discuss about the relationship between mental health and IPV
But then What is IPV Intimate Partner Violence? How are you affected as a survivor and are the children affected directly or indirectly? How is IPV being managed and responded in our country?

LEO NI LEO! get to hear from advocates as they answer and detail down the facts about IPV

Hello dear ones. Let's engage! Have you ever felt disrespected sexually out of a position you hold, gender, age, tribe or even sexualized and sexually demeaned? Ever felt power dominating and pushed to the corner to a point of not having a voice to speak up about it? Ever been sexually harassed by those in authority due to power domination? Speak up leo as we prepare for the 16 Days of Activism against GBV 2022📌📌📌 REMEMBER HEALING FROM GBV TAKES COURAGE AND THIS IS WHERE WE BUILD COURAGE. AND NO ONE CHOOSES TO BE A SURVIVOR OF GBV. ONGEA LEO

We do not prepare our audience for something specific through GBV education, we prepare them for anything📌

There's no dress code for a "yes". We normalize r**e culture by feeding our thoughts with "moral concept" of how one should dress and present themselves.

Everyone had the Right to dress how comfortable they feel. Out of your choice without coercion.

Mind you Grabbing, spanking, stripping is a form of GBV And one can be charged in a court of law for violation of human rights!

Jua before Sheria ikujuze.

"...Maybe she wasn't dressed very well, maybe she was on her period. Don't reject her"- MP Hon. Sylvannus Osoro

Just a quick one, dear ladies and men with knowledge on Menstrual hygiene management, do periods affect someone's way of expression or can periods be the reason you're judged differently?

A team player, a support system, a youth leader, a teacher. All that as a package for one of us. We honor and celebrate this day with you as you turn an year older on this day . A blessing.

Happy birthday to kijana shujaa on behalf of kijana shujaa project Kenya.
