Introduction
On 23rd February 2024, we had an interactive and engaging Street Theater (PET) in the Majengo, Pumwani area. The community members were very receptive, and our performance touched on a sensitive issue that most people are not knowledgeable about – Sexual Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).
Addressing SGBV through Street Theater
Our performance focused on various SGBV cases, how to report and the referral pathways. We were thrilled to have Maisha Girls Safe House on board, which made it easier and more realistic for the community members to understand and know that there is an organization within their reach that can help in keeping their girls safe when it comes to such issues.
