CFK Africa has launched a new initiative to tackle sexual and gender-based violence in Mathare slum.
As a result, the Gender Desk Office at the Mathare Police Station will provide a safe place for women to report violence and seek justice.
The scheme was launched with support from non-profit organisation focused on empowering youth in Kenya, Mathare Police officers, the Gender-Based Violence County Coordinator’s office and local community partners.
The move comes as sexual and gender-based violence is a major issue in Kenya, with 45% of women experiencing it, according to Kenya’s National Council for Population and Development.
