How Contact Centres Can Help Fight GBV: The Power of Listening, Reporting & Safe Channels

2 min read

🌍 November is GBV Awareness Month

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) remains a pressing challenge across the globe. In Kenya, survivors often face barriers to reporting abuse or accessing support. During GBV Awareness Month, it’s critical to highlight how contact centres can play a pivotal role in providing safe, confidential, and accessible channels for help.

At TeleSky Limited, we believe every conversation is an opportunity to protect, support, and empower.


💡 Why Contact Centres Matter in GBV Response

Call centres are often the first point of contact for survivors seeking assistance. The right systems and training ensure that calls are handled with:

Confidentiality – protecting the survivor’s identity and story.
Compassion – empathetic communication that acknowledges trauma.
Timely Action – connecting survivors to authorities, NGOs, or helplines quickly.

A professional contact centre doesn’t just respond — it creates safe spaces for action and healing.


🔗 How TeleSky Supports GBV Awareness

At TeleSky, our mission goes beyond customer service. Here’s how we integrate GBV awareness into our operations:

  • Trained Agents: Staff receive specialized training on sensitive conversations and appropriate response protocols.
  • Safe Reporting Channels: Multi-channel systems (calls, chat, social media, email) ensure survivors can reach help in the way that’s most comfortable.
  • Collaboration with NGOs: Partnering with organizations that provide legal, medical, and psychological support.
  • Internal Policies: A GBV-free workplace culture with clear reporting lines and zero tolerance for harassment.

📞 Turning Communication into Action

Every call, chat, or message can be a lifeline. Contact centres can:

  • Receive and document reports safely.
  • Provide guidance on next steps.
  • Refer survivors to professional help immediately.

By leveraging TeleSky’s multi-channel infrastructure and trained agents, brands and organizations can extend their social responsibility while helping those in need.
