Enhancing prevention of SGBV through behaviour and norm change

Every evening, a mother at Lang'ata Women Maximum Prison tucks her child into bed behind locked gates.

The child did not choose those walls. They did not choose the circumstances that brought them there. Yet they wake up every day needing the same things every child needs: formula, diapers, clothes, soap, onesies, love and hope.

Their mothers also have needs. Basic essentials such as sanitary pads, toiletries, panties and personal care items are often out of reach, yet they are vital to living with dignity.

You can help change that.

Your donation, no matter how small, can provide essential items for both mothers and their children, restoring dignity, comfort and hope.

Our office line is open for collection/donations.

She finally found the courage to tell someone what had happened.

Before she could finish, the questions began.

Are you sure?
He's such a good man.
Think about his family.
You'll ruin his future.

That is what r**e apologism looks like.

The next time someone trusts you with their story, remember the words you choose in that moment can be the difference between a survivor who heals and one who goes silent.

To every survivor reading this,, we see you, we hear you and we believe you.

Some survivors speak months and years later. The time it takes does not change the truth of what happened.

It may have been abuse by a relative or someone trusted in the home. It may have happened at school, in a place that was meant to feel safe. It may have been violence by a partner or harassment in a workplace that went unreported.

Some carry memories from childhood that were never understood or named at the time. Others were silenced by fear, stigma or lack of support.

Every survivor deserves to be heard, believed and supported, no matter when they choose to come forward. There is no deadline on healing and there should be no barrier to care.

At Wangu Kanja Foundation, support remains available through safe, confidential and survivor-centred services.

If you are ready to speak, know that help is there. You are not alone, our Toll Free Line 1519 is available for confidential support.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.

It is a time to confront a reality many still avoid. Sexual violence continues to affect individuals, families, and communities, often in silence. Behind every statistic is a person whose safety, dignity and trust have been violated.

Prevention begins with us. It is in how we teach consent, how we challenge harmful behaviour and how we respond when someone speaks.

At the Wangu Kanja Foundation , we continue to support survivors through access to psychosocial care, legal guidance and safe reporting pathways, while also working with communities and institutions to strengthen prevention and response systems.

This month and beyond, we must commit to action.
