Statistics
According to recent statistics, the number of reported cases of defilement in Kenya has been on the rise over the years, with children being the most affected. Most of these cases involve men who are close to the victims, such as family members, relatives, or friends.
The consequences of defilement on the victims can be devastating, and in most cases, they are left traumatized for life.
Kenyan Government Handling Cases
The Kenyan government has taken several steps to address this issue, including setting up special courts to handle cases of defilement and providing support services to victims. However, more needs to be done to prevent defilement from occurring in the first place.
Prevailing Issues

Defilement by Kenyan men towards their children is a growing concern that requires urgent attention. The physical and emotional damage caused by these crimes can last a lifetime, and it is important that all stakeholders take action to prevent them from occurring. By raising awareness about sexual abuse and its impact, we can create a safer and more just society for all.
