Brief Description

Kenya focused on scaling up the National Police Service Integrated Response to GBV (Policare) and establishing Gender-Based Violence Recovery Centres (GBVRCs) and shelters in all 47 counties. The progress into achieving this commitment is through the launch of the Policare Policy Statement and Procedures, gazettement of the two Policare centres in Nairobi and Nanyuki, establishment and strengthening of Gender desks in all police stations. There are already established government GBVRCs and safe shelters for survivor support.
