The @160GirlsProject Virtual Justice Club (VJC) in Kwale County successfully closed out. It focused on creating legal awareness among children regarding defilement reporting procedures. We're empowering the next generation to protect themselves and fight against such injustices.

Sunday we concluded our Issue 4 Newsletter distribution on Age Consent: In Kenya, age consent begins from 18 years old, thus any sexual involvement with a child below the age is called defilement and it’s a criminal offense. @160GirlsProject @Equality_Effect 1/3

VAG is not justifiable & must be stopped. We all have a role to play in ensuring this happens. We have noted children play a critical role in their own protection. @160GirlsProject therefore aims at empowering children to understand what violence entails in general.
