Reaching Deaf Women Experiencing Gender-Based Violence in Kenya

One initiative in Kenya helped service providers learn basic Kenyan Sign Language so they can communicate with Deaf women experiencing gender-based violence. This initiative is one part of a larger project to improve access to justice and services for women with different disabilities who experience gender-based violence. An organization of women with disabilities in Kenya led the project. The organization, Women Challenged to Challenge, built a coalition with community leaders, police, nurses, people with disabilities, and others.
