This project, funded by Microresearch Canada, addresses the issue of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Kisii County by engaging community paralegals in referral pathways for cases involving girls. Community paralegals; trained in basic law, mediation, and advocacy; play a crucial role in preventing and addressing SGBV. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of these grassroots workers and improve community-led solutions, particularly given the backlog of SGBV cases in the region
