Prevalence of Gender-Based Violence in Schools

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a significant challenge in Kenyan schools, particularly in marginalised communities.

In such communities, harmful practices continue to limit girls’ and women’s access to quality education.

23.93% of learners reported any violence, reflecting the scale of the problem in school environments.

Boys report higher levels of physical violence, with 15.86% of boys reporting physical violence, while girls face greater exposure to sexual abuse, as shown by 14.43% of girls reporting sexual violence.
