Women in remote areas of Isiolo have come up with creative initiatives to promote campaigns against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
The coordinated efforts have been taking place in the three sub-counties of Isiolo, Garbatula, and Merti and are being orchestrated to push for the implementation of the gender policy, which is yet to be tabled at the Isiolo County Assembly.
Initiatives such as composing songs, traditional dances, and drama, which are showcased in schools and local public meetings, have been lauded for their effectiveness in passing messages that could be difficult to communicate.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and early marriages are among the predominant retrogressive cultures that contribute to GBV among women in Isiolo County.
