Across Kenya, women and children continue to face persistent challenges in reporting and navigating formal justice systems when subjected to gender‑based violence and child sexual exploitation. Barriers such as limited legal aid, socio‑economic vulnerability, and weak community awareness leave survivors without the protection and accountability they deserve.
This initiative strengthens survivor‑centered legal aid services, ensuring access to advice, representation, and coordinated support that integrates medical and psychosocial care. It emphasizes child protection, legal assistance, and community awareness through literacy sessions and clinics that demystify justice procedures and highlight critical timelines such as forensic evidence collection.
Selected partners will guide survivors through reporting, police engagement, investigations, and court processes, while reducing barriers through logistical support like transportation and basic needs during proceedings. Collaboration with justice actors — including police desks, children’s officers, and court committees — will improve case handling and build trust in formal systems.
💡 Indicative support available — approximately USD 150,000 for national NGOs or consortia delivering survivor‑centered legal aid in high‑need contexts.
