Nairobi has recorded the highest number of reported sexual and gender-based violence cases in Kenya, according to a recent report. The data shows 5,823 cases were reported, with a particular risk of indecent touching and groping in the city. The report also mentions similar concerns in Mombasa and Nyeri.
The report highlights the persistent challenge of gender-based violence in urban areas, with Nairobi leading in reported incidents. The figures include cases of sexual assault, harassment, and other forms of gender-based violence. The data was compiled by local authorities and non-governmental organizations working in the field.
The issue of sexual and gender-based violence has been a growing concern in Kenya, with increasing reports from women's rights groups. Previous studies have shown a rise in such incidents, particularly in major cities. The government has launched initiatives to improve reporting mechanisms and support victims, but challenges remain in ensuring safety and justice for survivors.
