When the musician Kemunto recently recounted her alleged rape, I was shocked to see so much victim bashing and shaming on Social Media, including questions about where, how and when. These reactions by Kenyans reminded me of what happened to my friend and colleague Jane (not her real name), a doctor who alleged she was raped by another doctor.

With Jane’s permission, I shared her story—albeit abstractly—in a professional group. I was appalled by the repeat of the classic script of victim-shaming and judging by many.
