Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Program
In Samburu County, gender-based violence remains a deeply rooted challenge, heavily driven by complex cultural, social, and economic dynamics. At Hope for Samburu Communities (HFSC), we believe that dismantling violence requires a holistic, survivor-centred approach.
We focus on deeply understanding these underlying root causes to design targeted, localized interventions. Through robust community awareness, human rights education, and the reinforcement of legal and policy frameworks, we are actively shifting harmful social norms. Our program is dedicated to establishing safe, accessible support services for survivors, driving the economic empowerment of women and girls, and walking hand-in-hand with cultural and religious leaders to build a safer, more equitable society.
Our GBV Strategic Pillars
Survivor-Centered Protection & Justice
Strengthening safe referral pathways, psychosocial support, and medical case management, while training grassroots community paralegals and legal champions to secure accountability and reduce case attrition
Economic Resilience & Empowerment
Equipping vulnerable women, youth, and GBV survivors with foundational financial literacy, direct grants, and targeted vocational skilling to foster long-term financial independence
Community-Led Prevention & Advocacy
Engaging Morans, traditional elders, schools, and administrative leaders to challenge patriarchal norms, promote positive masculinity, and protect bodily autonomy.
