It is with great pleasure that i stand here before you as we celebrate the opening of the gender desk at archers post police station. I feel proud that as we mark this mile stone on our endeavour to make Samburu county a place safe for women, girls, men and boys, we can say that we have a gender desk where victims of gender based violence will not only be able to report cases of violence without victimisation or discrimination, but also a place they can call a safe space for reporting symptomatic problems they might be experiencing.
