Thank you, THIRST, for your invaluable support in our mission to hold individuals and companies accountable for sexual and gender-based violations and ensure timely justice for survivors, especially in our efforts to challenge sexual exploitation and abuse/harassment in the Kenyan tea sector. Your rallying of international NGOs and tea companies to back our call to action on the Kenya Government and the justice actors to serve justice and support survivors has been crucial in expediting the progress. We truly appreciate the external and in-country pressure you provide, which helps to keep the spotlight on this critical issue.
