GBV: Children tipped on how to report cases

As the 16 days of Gender-Based Violence activism gathers momentum in Nakuru County, more than 200 children were on Monday given tips on how to report cases of GBV.

The ceremony held at Hyrax Hills Museum of Kenya and attended by counsellors, human rights activists and medics from the Nakuru Level Five Hospital targeted children between the ages of 12-17.

Since the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, there has been a surge in the cases of gender-based violence against children. Most of these cases, which occur in informal settlements, go unreported.
