Awareness + prevention = safer communities. #CFKAfrica spoke with students at Genesis Joy High School in #Mathare about SGBV ahead of the April school holidays, when cases of SGBV typically rise: "let us learn to speak up, let us learn to report, let us learn to seek help." Together, we can create a community that is safe for everyone. #endGBV
