First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a group-based program called Jenga Dada (meaning 'Build a Woman Up' in Swahili) for women in Kenya who are part of community economic groups. The program teaches skills to recognize and challenge inequality, handle financial abuse, and use family planning safely. Researchers worked with 238 women aged 15 and older to see if the program boosts their confidence to cope with abuse and plan their families.
