A recent landmark ruling in favour of four Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) survivors of the 2007/08 post-election chaos has given hope to thousands of survivors in the country yet to get justice.
The ruling was made on December 10, 2020 during the International Human Rights Day.
In Constitutional Petition No.122 of 2013, the court found that the Kenyan government was responsible for “failing to conduct independent and effective investigations and prosecutions of SGBV related crimes during the post-election violence.”
Four of the eight survivor were each awarded compensation of Sh4 million “for the violation of their constitutional rights.”
