The Public Health Program's Sexual Health and Rights Project presented a discussion with Ann Njogu, executive director of the Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) in Nairobi, Kenya. The event was moderated by SHARP Project Director Sue Simon.
Njogu spoke about the work of CREAW, a nongovernmental organization created to enhance women's access to basic human rights through the elimination of discrimination and violence in all forms, and the promotion of equality, development, and justice for women. In addition to providing legal aid for victims of abuse and advocacy for women's rights, CREAW works on prevention at the community level through education, mobilization, and awareness-raising. CREAW's Gender and Governance Program addresses the hurdles that Kenyan women face due to their lack of representation in decision-making processes, and its Bride Price Program seeks to protect women's sexual and reproductive rights, often violated as a result of the continued practice of dowries.
