Resilient Woman equips women and girls with tools to deal with harmful practices and attitudes by creating awareness, training, mentorship and advocacy through partnerships and collaborations.An interaction with women at Lang’ata Women’s Prison between the years 2013 and 2014 and later with girls at Kamae juvenile detention revealed life’s circumstances and experiences that contributed to their imprisonment.  These experiences are not only unique to women in prison or girls in juvenile detention but  to all women across the board. For example, some reported losing their parents, siblings, and guardians at an early age. These childhood circumstances and experiences exposed them to unfavorable and risky behaviors that would change their lives for ever. Furthermore women suffer  the effects of harmful practices like female genital mutilation, early marriages and the effect of societal norms and attitudes that keep them marginalized and disdavantaged.
