The Government has been blamed for doing too little and being too late in responding to gender-based violence (GBV) cases during this Covid-19 pandemic.

This is according to Human Rights Watch (HRW), which released a report called, ‘I Had Nowhere to Go’: Violence against Women and Girls during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Kenya, which was carried out between June 2020 year and June this year.
