Gender stakeholders trained on handling GBV victims

A lobby has trained gender stakeholders on how to handle Gender Based Violence (GBV) victims in Kitengela, Kajiado County.

Forum for Women in Development, Democracy and Justice, Project Coordinator, Grace Wanjiru, said that there is a need for the community to speak up on GBV so that the vice can be stopped and the victims helped. "GBV affects the entire society.

If a child grows up in a violent home, he/she will continue the violence cycle and will violate other people as that is what they have grown up seeing.

It is important for all institutions that deal with GBV to have capacity to deal with victims effectively or put adequate referral pathways," said Wanjiru.
