Sound The Horn

The aim of this project is to develop a prototype of safe spaces for female university staff (professional and non- professional) at Kenyan universities using Kenyatta University (KU) for the pilot. The pilot at Kenyatta University is designed to achieve sustainable institutional and attitudinal changes that will guarantee safe work spaces for women staff. Consequently, this prototype will facilitate holding duty bearers accountable for the safety and security of its female staff in safe and secure spaces (formal and informal). This involves acting at multiple levels (policy and implementation) with multiple actors (women/men, professional/support staff, Coalitions and networks) using a combination of mutually reinforcing creative, participatory and conventional strategies, building on innovations introduced by WERK in its early years. HIVOS Foundation finances the project.
