Athletes in Kenya are pushing for change after a series of high-profile cases involving predatory coaches and officials. In response, organizations like Tirop's Angels and Shoe4Africa are working to create safe spaces and support systems for athletes. Some schools, such as Transcend Academy, are also taking proactive steps to prevent exploitation by ensuring a 50-50 split of boys and girls in their programs.

Athletics Kenya has implemented new measures, including a mandatory safeguarding course for coaches and officials. However, some have expressed concerns that more needs to be done to address the root causes of these issues.
