From Silence to Strength: The COVAW Story

Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW) is a national non-profit women’s rights organization dedicated to ending Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Kenya. Since 1995, we have worked tirelessly to break the silence, challenge harmful norms, and create a society where women and girls can live free from violence, fear, and discrimination.

Our journey began at a groundbreaking workshop by Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF), where two urgent issues were brought to light: the widespread silence around violence against women and girls, and the glaring absence of women in leadership spaces.

From this realization, COVAW was born—a bold coalition committed to driving change, amplifying women’s voices, and advancing gender equality.
