The Cabinet Inter-Ministerial Committee on Rape and Sexual Abuse against Women and Girls developed and rolled out the National Action Plan on ending rape and sexual abuse of women and girls which is underpinned by following priority pillars, namely Prevention, Service Provision, Research, Documentation, Monitoring and Evaluation and Coordination.

Under prevention, one of the key strategies is to address the negative cultural and religious practices that fuel rape and sexual violence. There is also need to raise awareness on rights and gender responsive laws. Critically, research, documentation, monitoring and evaluation includes carrying out research on the causes of rape and sexual abuse as well as conducting research on other priority research areas among other issues. The National Action Plan targets schools, churches, tertiary institutions, work places and specific interventions for each target group have been identified. In tertiary institutions issues to be addressed include sexual harassment and its consequences.
