NATIONAL ADVISORY ON THE PROTECTION OF THE PRIVACY AND DIGNITY OF SEXUAL AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE SURVIVORS

The Commission has issued a National Public Advisory calling on all Kenyans, media practitioners, social media users, content creators, and law enforcement agencies to protect the privacy and dignity of survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). The advisory highlights the legal consequences of the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, disclosure of survivors' identities, and circulation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). It also outlines the responsibilities of the public, media, and institutions in safeguarding survivors, preventing re-victimization, and ensuring access to justice.
