Dada Response Network
If you can help, you belong here.
The institutions that should protect women have failed them systematically. But Kenya is full of people — lawyers, counsellors, journalists, activists — who have the skills and the will to do what the institutions won't. Dada Response Network connects them to each other, and to survivors who need them.
Who we are looking for
Legal Aid Providers
Lawyers and paralegals who provide free or subsidised counsel for GBV and femicide cases.
Mental Health Professionals
Counsellors, psychologists, and trauma therapists offering survivor-centred support.
Activists & Community Leaders
Movement organisers, community responders, and advocates with on-the-ground reach.
Journalists & Researchers
Media professionals and academics who cover GBV, femicide, and justice accountability.
Women's Organisations
NGOs, CBOs, and civil society organisations working on women's safety and rights.
Police Liaisons
Gender-desk officers and police allies committed to trauma-informed GBV response.
How the network works
Verify
All network members are identity-verified. Legal aid providers are bar-roll confirmed. Mental health professionals are licensed. This is not a social directory.
Connect
Survivors and case managers are matched with network members by case type, location, and availability — through a secure portal that protects identities at every stage.
Collaborate
Network members share case updates, coordinate handoffs, and flag stalls — through the same infrastructure that generates the Intervention Priority Index.
Secure case collaboration portal
End-to-end encrypted. Identity-protected. Case updates, document sharing, and coordinated handoffs across institutions — designed for the security requirements of GBV response work. Built with the same threat model as the Dada Salama app.
