Do we have enough spaces in Kenya?

I recently attended a Generation Equality meeting hosted by Young Women Leadership Institute that included feminists. I just realized that we rarely talk about the struggles of gender-based violence and if there are safe houses that can host pwds that go through sexual and physical abuse. Some of us have heard about unfortunate events that have affected our community. Are there safe spaces that are accommodative?

Wow, interesting conversation. I know of one organization involved in this work called Usikimye. This article also highlights other centers in Kenya https://www.enableme.ke/en/article/gender-based-violence-rescue-centres-in-kenya-9338

@Faith_EnableMe Indeed it is, I'm sure we really haven't heard many stories within the disability community if it is, it feels like it's minimal.
