Practical Ways Women Selling Uji at Construction Sites Can Reduce Harassment Risks<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Across growing towns and cities like Nairobi, Nakuru, and Kisumu, many women earn a living by selling uji and snacks at construction sites (mjengo). The work provides flexible income and supports families\u2014but it can also present challenges, especially in male-dominated environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While responsibility for harassment always lies with the person behaving inappropriately, there are practical strategies women vendors can use to protect themselves and create safer working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Establish Clear Professional Boundaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the beginning, it helps to keep interactions strictly business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Use polite but firm language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Avoid overly personal conversations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Set clear payment terms (cash before serving, if possible).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A professional tone helps define the relationship as customer-vendor, not social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Choose Strategic Selling Spots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Positioning matters. Vendors can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Set up near the site entrance rather than deep inside the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Stay close to areas with high visibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Avoid isolated corners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Working in visible areas discourages inappropriate behavior and increases safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Build Alliances on Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Not all workers behave poorly. In fact, many are respectful. Identifying responsible supervisors, foremen, or trusted regular customers can create informal protection networks. When others see that a vendor has allies, inappropriate behavior tends to decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Work in Pairs When Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If feasible, partnering with another vendor increases safety. Two people are less likely to be targeted than someone working alone, especially during early morning hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5. Keep Communication Devices Accessible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Having a charged phone within reach allows quick communication if needed. Informing a trusted person about work location and schedule also adds a layer of safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      6. Set Clear Credit Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Money disputes can escalate into tension. Clear policies such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • \u201cNo credit\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • \u201cCredit only for known customers\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • \u201cPayment before service\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        reduce unnecessary arguments and pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        7. Know When to Walk Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If a site consistently feels unsafe, it may be better to relocate. Personal safety should always come before daily sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Empowerment Through Preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
