Safe House for girls

Summary
Gender Based Violence (GBV) is one of the most persistent violations of human rights across the globe. According to the WHO, about one third of women worldwide have experienced violence. In Kenya, a recent study found that 32% of young women aged 18-24 years reported experiencing sexual violence before the age of 18. Gender-based violence reduces the bargaining power to negotiate safer sex, stay on treatment or remain in school. We plan to rescue these girls and give them holistic safe space.
