Kibera is the largest informal settlement in East Africa and holds a population of approximately 1million 1 people located in 14 villages that are divided along 7 administrative locations. Kibera ischaracterized by poor infrastructure and limited delivery of social services such as health care, laenforcement, ater and sanitation and livelihood opportunities. !t is reported " that a largeproportion of cases of #$% in &airobi occur in Kibera ith residents citing rape, incest, childdefilement and abuse, sodomy and assault as the main forms. 'hese forms of (#$% are generallycharacterized by underreporting to the extent that actual numbers of cases are estimated to be ) *

times those that are reported.

Although Kenya+s ne " 1 constitution re-uires the elimination of gender discrimination and allforms of discrimination against omen, the government has not been able to guarantee the rightsof omen in Kenya, here domestic and sexual violence are endemic. (urvivors of sexual andgender based violence (#$%/ face serious challenges related to access to 0ustice and healthservices, ith local authorities unresponsive to their needs and lo rates of reporting due to lac of public confidence in these systems.

!h) is the +ro#ect needed6 !hat +ro&$e2 is it e7+ected to so$'e6 #ender3$ased %iolence #$%/ is a idespread and socially tolerated human rights violationthat ta es the form of domestic violence, sexual and psychological abuse. !t is emerging as aserious global health, human rights and development issue and it is a symptom of gender ine-ualities 4. According to < = " ", #$% is a serious cause of death and in0ury among omenand children yet it is accepted by customs and thrives on impunity. #ender based violence #$%/occurs across all socioeconomic and cultural bac grounds and in many societies, including Kenya,

omen are socialized to accept, tolerate, and even rationalize domestic violence and to remainsilent about such experiences >immerman, 1884/.

#ender $ased %iolence is idespread in Kenya and especially Kibera ) hich is highly populatedand is also characterized by poor infrastructure and limited delivery of social services such ashealth care, la enforcement, ater and sanitation and livelihood opportunities. !t is a crime thatshoc s and traumatizes the (urvivors and undermines their status in the community. According toa (ituation and esponse Analysis conducted in " ? by @&A!6(, it is estimated that every day,

omen are physically and sexually abused and raped in all social and ethnic groups in the country.;ost of the gender violence cases are not reported to the authorities as survivors often face a lotof obstacles in trying to bring the perpetrators to 0ustice. ;any of them are intimidated by culturalattitudes and state inaction hile see ing redress. (ome of the ey factors that perpetuate theoccurrence of #$% cases is the lo level of a areness among community members on the natureof #$%, its prevalence, care and support resources available to survivors, public policy and la sregarding omen+s rights under the (exual =ffences Act (=A " ?/, and ho to overcome thebarriers to recognizing #$% as a problem that needs to be dealt ith.

#ender $ased %iolence also permeates all the sections of society and is also present in schoolshich can be considered mirrors of the society ithin hich they exist. 'he much ignored lin

bet een the barriers to omen+s and girls+ ability to exercise their sexual and reproductive rightsand the persistent gender3based violence becomes clear in the education sector here violenceengaged in ithin schools is usually sexual abuse. #irls face the threat of multiple forms of violence at school. 'his includes rape, sexual abuse, and sexualized touching or emotional abusein the form of threats of violence. #irls also encounter constant highly sexualized verbaldegradation in the school environment. 'hese forms of gender violence are largely committed byother pupils and students and in some instances by teachers or other school employees. A reportby the 5enter for the (tudy of Adolescence " B/ indicates that 1 , girls drop out of schoolevery year due to issues relating to pregnancy costing the government about ? , , shillingsin asted resources targeted at Cree :rimary and subsidized secondary education. !n addition tothe stigma of early teen pregnancy adolescents ho drop out of school face challenges ith

access to reproductive health services and there is an increased ris of teenage mortality andreproductive health complications stemming from procurement of unsafe abortions.

(exual violence being a serious health and human rights problem in Kenya ith adverse physicaland psychological conse-uences on the survivor has not only affected omen and girls, but alsomen and boys.

'he national plan for mainstreaming gender into the !%9A!6( strategicplan for Kenya has identified sexual violence as an issue of concern in !% transmission,particularly among adolescents. 'hese call for comprehensive measures to address issues of sexual violence and more importantly meet the diverse and often complex needs of the survivors.

How do you know the need exists?
