Across crisis zones, gender-based violence programmes are dangerously underfunded.

Underfunding puts refugee women and girls at greater risk of violence.

4/5 ⚖️🧱 For Esther Mkamori, Head of Programmes at United Disabled Persons of Kenya (UDPK), what’s hindering #AccessToJustice for #WomenAndGirls with #disabilities is a lack of consideration and #inclusion of their issues in the #justice system:

Violence against women and girls is a grave violation of human dignity. It’s widespread and for those forced to flee, the risks are even greater.

But it’s not inevitable. Together, we can speak out and help break the cycle of abuse.

Let's say, for a moment, that the Code becomes statutory (which is certainly a possible outcome).

It won't usher in a new era of safety and dignity for womenandgirls.

It will do the precise opposite AND unleash waves of vexatious litigation as well as endemic harassment.

Bonkers.

Too many women and girls are consistently overlooked, and too often harmed, by the very systems meant to support them. But we know change is possible - and it starts with centring the voices are too often ignored. One donation. Double the system-shifting power. Donate to our Big Give campaign from 8-15 October 2025.
