Over the past two weeks, through our partnership with @lawsocietykenya and supported by @unwomenkenya, we are pleased to have trained over 50 lawyers and prosecutors across Nairobi and Kisumu on the collection, interpretation, and use of forensic evidence in SGBV cases.

@PHRKenya@utu_wetu@covaw@Grace_Agenda@ICJKenya@IJMKenya@IMLU_org@HakiKNCHR@thekhrc We can learn a few things:
1. The role of government in ensuring justice for survivors, even in instances of acts of non-state actors, cannot be underscored.
2. Justice may look different for every survivor. Could be a conviction, compensation, an apology.
On this International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we reflect on what gains have been made and what remains to be done. Join us for this discussion.
Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
Crimes Against Children
Children make up over a third of nearly 10,000 reported cases of rape and other forms of sexual violence in Eastern Congo within the first two months of the year.

On this IWD, PHR highlights the long wait for justice by survivors of sexual violence.
We urge the Government of Kenya to uphold the rule of law and enforce court orders—no survivor should mark another IWD without justice.

A brave son of Kenya. He was in the thick of it! Cut short his leave. Almost missed his flight. Did not sleep. Walked the streets with us. Did not sleep! Out there again! Letting the world know! Bearing witness. Thank you Larry. Stay safe! Do not be quiet!
