From November 25 to December 10, 1996, USAID/Kenya supported 16 days of activism against gender violence. Called "Breaking the Silence," this annual national campaign was aimed at raising awareness of the rising level of violence against women in Kenya. At meeting places around the country, the campaign, organized by the Coalition on Violence Against Women/Kenya and partially funded by USAID/Kenya, brought together hundreds of participants for a dialogue about gender-based violence. Speakers sought to debunk the myths surrounding violence, including the tendency to blame the victims of gender violence. Victims of violence described their treatment at the hands of abusers. Information brochures discussing domestic battery, wife killing, incest, and other forms of violence against women were distributed. USAID/Kenya has provided funding for this coalition since 1995.
1996年11月25日至12月10日，美国国际开发署/肯尼亚支持了为期16天的反对性别暴力活动。这项名为“打破沉默”的年度全国运动旨在提高人们对肯尼亚日益严重的针对妇女的暴力行为的认识。该活动由反暴力侵害妇女联盟(Coalition on Violence Against Women/Kenya)组织，部分资金由美国国际开发署(USAID/Kenya)提供，在全国各地的会议场所举行，聚集了数百名参与者，就性别暴力问题展开对话。演讲者试图揭穿围绕暴力的迷思，包括指责性别暴力受害者的倾向。暴力受害者描述了他们在施暴者手中受到的待遇。分发了关于家庭殴打、杀害妻子、乱伦和其他形式的暴力侵害妇女行为的宣传手册。美国国际开发署/肯尼亚自1995年以来一直为这一联盟提供资金。
