Creating Safe Spaces
When responding to a crisis, running sexual reproductive health programmes, or advocating for the prevention and ending of femicides across the country and region, safeguarding children and vulnerable adults is our first priority. We want to ensure that everyone who comes into contact with Femicide Count-Kenya is Kenya.
We are committed to ensure that children and vulnerable adults are protected from both deliberate and accidental harm and abuse caused by staff and other reps.
The key to safeguarding is prevention and making reporting concerns as easy as possible for children, parents, community members and staff. Our reporting strategies are diverse, and are often developed with children and the community to ensure that they work for the particular setting, program and culture.
Listen to children and adults in the communities we work in, and build in child and adult participation and feedback into all of our programming and advocacy work.

At Femicide Count Kenya, safeguarding is crucial. We emphasize Awareness and Training, Prevention and Risk Management, and Response and Reporting to protect our community. This section outlines our key steps.
