The event highlighted a shared commitment to empowering women and providing them with the necessary tools to combat gender violence.

They also underscored the need for robust interventions, such as counselling and emergency relief for victims of violence.
During the event, Uasin-Gishu Deputy Governor Evans Kapkea said GBV and femicide are unacceptable vices.
"We are committed to ensuring a secure society for all," he said, encouraging partnerships with Faith- based and civil society organisations to foster community cohesion.
"I call for joint male engagement sessions and urge men to become ambassadors for ending violence," he added.
Both organisations and local leaders vowed to continue working together to build safer and more inclusive communities for women.
