Advocacy

KEEP is committed to being a champion and advocate for ensuring safe spaces are available for children to learn, share and play.  Unfortunately, in many instances, schools are in fact places of assault and abuse for children, a situation which the organization’s activities works to address.  With an advocacy focus on preventing and reducing cases of school-based violence, KEEP strives to increase awareness and strengthen monitoring and reporting of school-based violence.

This includes the establishment of Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV) clubs in schools across the country which enables students become champions and advocates for safe spaces for themselves.

KEEP also champions women and girls’ rights and has been a key vocal actor on sexual abuse and violence in Liberia over the years, utilizing tools like movie productions, plays, books, articles and community meetings to place the subject matter at the forefront for discussions on the national agenda.
