Medics strike slows justice for abused victims

Up to 145 cases of defilement were reported at GBRC in December and 120 this month, with the youngest being a six-year-old girl. Nurse in charge at the centre, Pamela Olilo, said doctors and contracted clinicians, who are partner supported, have played a critical role in filling the forms and attending to victims. “The numbers are high and we are doing all we can to ensure they receive the justice they deserve,” Olilo said, adding that the justice was slow in courts and cases take long to be closed. An advocacy and policy lead official at Kisumu Medical and Education Trust, Patricia Nudi, reported the facility has documented 50 cases in the last three months. Most are incest related.

Nairobi MCAs call for SGBV desks across all 17 sub-counties

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.
