Frequently Asked Questions

Why is KAMGC 2026 different from other gender-based violence (GBV) conferences?expand_more
KAMGC 2026 is Kenya’s first national multi-sectoral platform dedicated to reviewing the nation’s GBV and femicide response. It centers survivors, integrates clinical, legal, psychosocial, and policy perspectives, establishes male engagement and research as core response pillars, and produces a formal annual communiqué with stakeholder commitments.
What role do men and boys play in the conference?expand_more
Male engagement is integrated as a core thematic pillar. Discussions focus on positioning men and boys as partners, fathers, and champions of change to address harmful masculinities, challenge gender norms, and prevent GBV.
How does the conference address data and research?expand_more
Research, data, and evidence form a standalone thematic pillar. The conference works to consolidate national evidence, validate femicide statistics, measure technology-facilitated GBV, and bridge data gaps to inform policy and funding decisions.
What is the significance of the 16 Days of Activism flag-off?expand_more
The conference features a pre-conference flag-off ceremony that officially launches the national 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
What post-conference action mechanisms will be established?expand_more
The conference will culminate in a formal declaration, communiqué, and an action plan with measurable stakeholder commitments and monitoring mechanisms to ensure long-term accountability.
