In Kenya, the organization Trócaire has implemented a project funded by the UN Trust Fund focused on adolescent girls and young women in eight informal settlements in Nakuru town to reduce violence against women and girls through empowerment activities, including training on fundamental rights, economic and vocational skills and fostering community-level gender-transformative behavioural change through community engagement and awareness-raising using the “SASA! Faith” methodology. Thanks to this training, 150 adolescent girls and young women, who now have increased levels of economic and personal power, including new self-confidence and increased self-esteem, have embarked on18 income-generating business start-ups. In addition, a total of 83 girls are enrolled in vocational skills training for the job market or self-employment. The SASA! Faith model has engaged faith communities in dialogue on the underlying causes of violence against women and in large-scale awareness-raising activities through public forums, reaching over 3,500 people. In addition, more than 250 front-line workers from various sectors took part in capacity-building activities to provide effective and high-quality services and implement laws to prevent violence against women and girls.
