Womankind Worldwide

Womankind Worldwide is a global women鈥檚 rights organisation working in equal partnership with women鈥檚 rights organisations and movements in Africa and Asia to transform the lives of women and girls. We believe that every woman and girl should live free from violence and discrimination, have a say in the decisions affecting her life, and be free to know and claim her rights.

Girls at risk

Girls at risk
For girls like Grace and her friends who live in Kibera, an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, life is tough. Cramped living conditions offer little security for women and girls and high levels of drug and alcohol abuse fuel widespread physical and sexual abuse. The current pandemic has increased their risk of violence.聽聽

Breaking the silence

Breaking the silence
In response to the increased risk of violence, Womankind Worldwide is supporting 鈥楾alking Boxes鈥�, to assist girls like Grace. Girls anonymously post their problems into boxes secured around their school, breaking their silence about the abuse they have experienced.

Healing from trauma

Healing from trauma
Each week, trained mentors meet with them to discuss the issues raised, helping them to heal from their trauma. In each school, girls like Grace can go on to become ambassadors, using the knowledge of their rights to report abuse and look out for others. Through your support we can give girls a chance to break their silence and seek help now.
