A Kenyan NGO has developed a program called “Your Moment of Truth,” which encourages young boys to intervene and protect girls and women if they are being sexually attacked.
The six-week program is run by local charity Ujamaa Africa. The training increased boys’ successful interventions when witnessing physical or sexual assault by 185 percent, from 26 to 74 percent, according to their study to be published later this year in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence.
