The South Eastern Kenya University through a 5- member project team were the winners of the gender grand whose call was announced may this year.
The theme of the research is engaging men staff and students to end sexual and gender based violence in SEKU and beyond.
The conference was officially opened by the DVC-Academic and Research Prof Harrison Maithya. In his speech he said that one of the deliverables is to conduct a 3 day training to empower men on matters of sexual and gender based violence. It is hoped that the training will go a long way in empowering the 50 male gender champions who will in turn spearhead positive gender interactions in the university.
This training will also help us have a motivated workforce as staff can work without fear of SGBV harassment.
