During a visit to refugee charity ‘RefuSHE’ The Countess met young women and girls who have fled conflict in neighbouring countries and are now supported by their 'Girls Empowerment Programme' which teaches refugee women and girls textile skills helping them to earn an independent income. On day two, Her Royal Highness visited the International Peace Support Training Centre, to discuss Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) with experts and practitioners from the Kenyan Government and Kenya Defence Forces, before meeting survivors of gender based violence. These two areas of work, WPS and PSVI, are central pillars of The Countess’s work.
