This was part of a broader peacebuilding effort to address the drivers of conflict in the region, which is home to pastoralist communities that share deep cultural ties but also face recurring tensions over access to water, pasture, & L. Turkana amid climate stress.

"GBV is not a women issue, it's a whole society issue, for it to be won, discussions have to happen at family level. Data shows that homes have also become dangerous place. It has to move to community and government agencies" @gender_ke @Gvrckenya @denmarkinkenya @WPCGovernment
