In addition to conducting thorough and comprehensive investigations in cases of sexual violence we expect the @InteriorKE to adopt a zero-tolerance policy against sexual violence committed by police, other public servants and citizens.

@InteriorKE Should instruct all police officials to uphold the rights of all survivors of SV who seek their services, & adhere to GOK guidelines on management of sexual violence.

Survivors have a RIGHT to willingly press a charge of rape with the police.

#Justice4SGBVSurvivors
Survivors have a RIGHT to be treated with as much credibility as victims of other crimes.

Police officers play a critical role in tackling sexual violence. Under the law, they have a duty to assist victims to access justice and receive immediate medical attention.

Do survivors feel safe going to the police?

What does the law say?

#Justice4SGBVSurvivors

@InteriorKE
A police officer to whom a report of commission of a sexual offence has been made shall notify a nurse, clinical officer or medical practitioner at any health
facility and refer the survivor accordingly for medical treatment. Sexual Offenses Act, 2012

#Justice4SGBVSurvivors
At the police station, a report is entered into the OB and the survivor is issued with a P3 form free of charge. An OB number is availed to the survivor. If the survivor has not been to the hospital, s/he goes there immediately after reporting.
