MPs have passed a Bill seeking to strengthen public awareness of sexual offences and protect the right to education of survivors of sexual violence, including teenage mothers. The Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill sponsored by Kisii Woman Representative Dorice Manya, proposes a new Section 46A requiring the government to promote national awareness of sexual offences. The Bill also requires Education CS to establish programmes to safeguard and promote access to education for victims of sexual offences, including girls affected by teenage pregnancies.
