Justice Delayed, Not Denied: The Kenyan Courts' Crucial Ruling on Sexual Violence The Kenyan Supreme Court's upcoming ruling in a landmark case related to election based sexual violence is a long overdue attempt to bring accountability to a country plagued by electoral unrest and selective justice.
For nearly two decades, survivors of the 2007 08 post election crisis have been seeking equal access to justice, compensation, and rehabilitation for the horrific crimes committed against them.
The case has significant implications not only for Kenya but also for the region. The petitioners argue that authorities failed to protect them from widespread sexual violence and failed to deliver justice afterwards.
