This is not a cause. It is a calling.
For Kenya, the salon chair has always been sacred ground. It is a place where women speak honestly, lower their guard, share their stories, and begin to see themselves differently.
No Harm in Being Armed exists to turn awareness into action. The movement creates space for education, advocacy, resources, and community support for women affected by domestic violence.
