Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue in Kakuma Refugee Camp, affecting countless women and girls. This violence not only causes physical harm but also deep psychological trauma. Addressing GBV requires robust legal frameworks, community education, and support services to protect victims and prevent future violence. We urge everyone to join us in this fight by raising awareness, supporting victims, and advocating for stronger protections. Together, we can make a difference and create a safer, more just community for all. #EnvisioningHumanity #SocialAdvocacy #refugeewellness #RefugeeAdvocacy #StopGBV UNHCR, the UN Refugee AgencyFilmAid KenyaDanish Refugee Council / Dansk FlygtningehjælpInternational Rescue CommitteeAmbitious.Africa

Sudan is now facing the largest child displacement crisis globally. Over 10 million people have been forced from their homes due to the ongoing conflict, with 7 million children seeking refuge across Sudan and neighbouring countries like Chad, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Egypt.   Every displacement represents lost dreams and shattered childhoods.
