Elders help sex offenders get away

The rate of impunity in cases involving abuse against Kenyan women has increased.

Our young girls are sexually harassed by men who are old enough to be called their fathers and grandfathers.

It’s unfortunate that such cases are settled at village level by elders who normally let off the perpetrators by charging them a small fine.

It is only FIDA Kenya that is doing a great job in pushing for justice for the survivors of such cases and indeed making sure that women become respected in the society.
