“My Voice” P-VAC Reporting and Response Boxes in schools. HakiElimu, in collaboration with students, introduced an anonymous box where children in school and those of school write cases of violence and drop them in the box, which is located at place selected by the children. The box has three padlocks and is opened periodically in the presence of three keyholders, student, school head, matron/ patron. The cases are opened, analyzed and sent to the respectiveparty for action (community leader/ police gender desk/ community development officer, social welfare officer, health care provider). The students / children receive responses and action is taken against perpetrators. This reporting mechanism has been selected by the ministry responsible for community development and children as the best practice and is now included in the national guidelines for prevention of violence against women and children.
