In the last 5 years, Kenya has established Court Users Committees (CUC): a forum that brings together actors in the administration of justice as well as users in the justice system to address problems within the sector and to coordinate responses to these problems by the Judiciary.
KELIN has actively engaged in the Kisumu and Homa Bay CUCs as a representative of non-governmental organisations since 2016. The partnership has provided KELIN with the opportunity to continuously raise issues facing vulnerable members of communities particularly, widows, orphans and vulnerable children.
The dialogue will bring together 25 key stakeholders within the CUCs to have a conversation and create a conducive environment that is necessary to the development of transformative strategies and perspectives on the legal mechanisms available for adolescent girls and young women.
At the end of this forum, KELIN hopes to have stronger networking partnerships between the CUC and other stakeholders in addressing the legal and ethical challenges that affect adolescent girls.
