Digital technology has transformed communication and opportunity, but it has also created new avenues for sexual exploitation and abuse.
In Kenya, the growing intersection between technology and gender-based violence has left many women and girls exposed to harm, from online grooming and sexual coercion to image-based abuse and technology-facilitated sex trafficking.
Equality Now, in partnership with the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet), Awareness Against Human Trafficking (HAART Kenya), Life Bloom Services International and Trace Kenya, has released a new report titled “Experiencing Online Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Kenya: Survivor Narratives and Legal Responses”, alongside a policy brief titled “Not Just Online: Addressing Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Across Digital and Physical Realities.”
