In 2012, 160 girls between the ages of 3 and 17 sued the Kenyan government for failing to protect them from being raped... Now they’ve made legal history.

Exciting 160 Girls news! We’ve distributed tablets to the leaders of the Virtual Justice Club for students at Kwale County to kick off their lessons on important topics such as consent and identifying perpetrators of abuse. The students will also learn about the consequences of obstructing justice and the harm of private settlements. The tablets come with access to unique content like art, videos, podcasts, and educational storybooks through our partnership with Worldreader #GirlEmpowerment #virtualjusticeclubs #160girlsandme #equalityeffect

This week, we’re in Diani, Kwale County, training student leaders and their parents on how to use the 160 Girls Project VJC tablets that will empower them to understand and speak out on issues of sexual violence and defilement. The students were incredibly engaged and eager to learn during the training. We’re thrilled to be able to provide these resources and hope to create a safer environment for our future leaders! #equalityeffect #160girlsandme #virtualjusticeclubs
