CMMB Kenya’s Post

GBV can only be addressed through multi sectoral approach. working with government agencies and getting their buy in ensured reduced incidents and effective response in Siaya county

It is so sad to see these incredibly regressive moves against children. Are we interested in revenge or effectiveness? Responses do need to vary according to a child's age and severity of offending, However punitive approaches simply don't work. Effective responses factor in that children involved in serious offending tend to have lives blighted by things they have no control over - poverty and early trauma. What is associated with reduced offending is diversionary and holistic approaches to dealing with children’s needs. #children #criminalresponsibility #leadership #communityservices

In complete agreeance! States are starting to move toward laws against coercive control but some other countries have already criminalized it! In the US it is referred to as domestic VIOLENCE. That word alone is synonymous with physical. Domestic ABUSE is so much more than what the US criminalizes…physical abuse. Coercive control is dangerous! Coercive control can linger after the survivor leaves the relationship as post-separation abuse. Coercive control can linger for a lifetime for survivors. If damaging a survivor psychologically and taking away the survivors personal liberties and human rights isn’t criminal, we need to rethink a lot of things!! The reason why I am in community education. I work for a progressive and phenomenal agency, which supports me in creating presentations. I created a coercive control presentation and presented it for the first time this past week! I honestly cannot be more proud of the end result and it received very positive feedback from the attendees!!! #coercivecontrol #communityeducation
