She also said that many such gender-based violence acts have gone unnoticed due to lack of proper reporting mechanisms which has resulted in family break-ups.
“Nairobi has nothing much to celebrate when it comes to SGBV. The achievement is not what we have been looking forward to. Most of these cases are experienced in informal settlements and slums, but that does not mean that people who live in the estates and high-end areas do not experience this violence, they do,” she said.
The MCA explained that Kenya in general lacked a data management system necessary to locate survivors of SGBV and that the county is in the process of enacting a law on the gender-based violence issue.
