Closing gaps in Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) prevention and response training

Childcare workers are the backbone of our communities and the essential workforce that makes all other work possible. Yet, their safety and inclusion are often overlooked.

Last week, COVAW, through the Action for Paid Childcare Sector Transformation Project, convened Kisumu and Kakamega counties for two-day training sessions aimed at driving systemic change.

The sessions focused on closing gaps in Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) prevention and response, while advancing Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) within the paid childcare sector.

Because when childcare workers are safe, respected, and empowered, children thrive, families grow stronger, and communities flourish.
