Proposals from February 16, 2013
Kenya: Operation SGBV out!
As a result of the unprecedented growth, affordability and coverage of mobile telephony in Kenya, we propose to anchor to it SGBV prevention and survivor support. Efforts to address and reduce SGBV within communities, principally among men and boys remain dismal. There is a need to go innovative, smart and large scale. We see a mobile phone as a tool for community mobilization, reporting, whistle blowing, advocacy/lobbying, and survivor support
