@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya Even though we are not their in terms of getting tougher penalties for perpetrators of Technology facilitated GBV, the Data protection act has tried to protect survivors. @ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Located in major public hospitals, GBVRCs offer medical care, counseling, evidence collection, and referrals—important when online abuse escalates offline. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Kenya has laws like the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act (CMCA) that criminalize online harassment, stalking, identity theft, and non-consensual image sharing—but implementation by all actors should be enhanced. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Question 5 Are existing Kenyan laws (like the Computer Misuse and Cyber crimes Act) enough to address TF-GBV? What gaps still remain? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya There’s fear of misuse of the law for instance, cyber laws have been used to silence activists more than protect them. Survivor-centred implementation is the missing piece. #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya The laws are good and very clear, enforcement is the biggest gap. Perpetrators of Technology facilitated GBV should be dealt with in accordance with the laws set out. @ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya I believe we have done well with laws on technology facilitated GBV like the Computer misuse and cyber crime act. If we implement this laws it will shun away this shameful acts. @ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

The gaps start with enforcement: many survivors face slow investigations, limited digital forensics capacity, and police officers who lack TF-GBV training or dismiss cases as “online issues.” #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya To the men and boys in Kenya, your silence is complicity. Be an active ally and always call out misogyny and online abuse whenever you encounter it. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya Kenyan masculinity is often measured by clout and dominance. Men should refuse to forward and share harmful content for likes. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Men and boys have moral authority, Use your influence: report abusive content, support survivors publicly and privately, and amplify women’s voices instead of speaking over them. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Digital safety is everyone’s responsibility. Simple steps can reduce the risk of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TF-GBV) for you and your loved ones. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa @ippf @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya @UNFPA_ESARO @NGECKenya There's a national GBV hotline 1195 and for minors, theirs a child helpline 116 which is free and you can get advise. @ELGIA_Africa @EyesAbroad @CanHCKenya #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

The Kenya Laws should be applied to deter such actions such as the computer and misuse and cyber crime Act and data protection Act. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Think before sharing: avoid oversharing personal details (location, school, routines). Never share intimate images—pressure to do so is a red flag, not trust. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Protect others: talk openly with children, teens, and partners about online risks, consent, and digital respect. Silence enables abuse; conversations prevent it.#KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Cyberstalking and impersonation are used by partners, ex-partners, and strangers to monitor, threaten, and control women—often escalating into offline violence.#KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

Online harassment often becomes sexualized—rape threats, insults about morality, and attacks on appearance—aimed at shaming women into silence rather than debate. #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV

@ELGIA_Africa It’s dismissed as “online drama” because digital harm isn’t taken as real violence, victim-blaming is normalized, and many don’t see how online abuse leads to offline fear, silence, and economic loss.

@ELGIA_Africa TF-GBV in Kenya shows up as online harassment, non-consensual sharing of intimate images, impersonation, cyberstalking, and coordinated hate campaigns—mostly targeting women, girls.

Question 1 What does TF-GBV look like in Kenya today, and why do many people still dismiss it as “just online drama”? #KomeshaTFGBV #Beyond16DaysOfActivism #ELGIAendTFGBV
