The government of Kenya says it is committed to ensuring protection for Kenyan kids from all types of violence. However, it has become quite difficult to put the words in action. If you walk in major cities of this nation, like Nairobi, Nakuru, Mombasa and Eldoret, you will observe that children are still undergoing physical and emotional violence.
Statistics on sexual assaults in the country shows that three out of every ten female and two out of every ten males between 18 and 24 years suffered sexual violence before they were 18 years old. About 7% females are reported to have experiences acute physical forced sexual contact before reaching the age of majority. The sad truth is that in every 12 months, 4% of males and 11% of females suffer from sexual molestation.
In the same line of sexual issues, partners, boyfriends, romantic lovers and girlfriends were discovered as major perpetrators of sexual violence. This group is most followed by some violent neighbors and inhuman parents full of sexual minds and lack of sympathy for children. Most children who experienced sexual assaults in their lives report that those who subjected them to the act were ten or more years older than them.
Physical and emotional violence is catastrophic and has many disadvantages attached to it. Most children, whether male or female, have suffered emotional and physical violence in the hands of their parents through kicks, whips and unnecessary blows. These youngsters grow knowing nothing other than the negative sides of life and there is therefore a need to control these situations else, the future for the country is at stake.
Many kids have experienced an overlap of sexual assaults, physical and emotional torture. Such violence results to more dangers such as anxiety and the fear that nothing about life seem good and in that sense, a child grows not knowing the existence of good people. Each young male or female in the country go through either one or all forms of challenges mentioned herein.
The females who experienced sexual assaults at one point in their lives reported feelings of anxiety, uncertainties about life, feelings of depressions and fear. In addition to that, they reflected poor health and lacked a taste and the meaning of life. In most cases, most of them ended up hating themselves and saw no value in themselves.
It looks like Kenya is a state where a strong society is yet to exist. The government has to work around the clock to create a society where men, women and children not only have but also enjoy equal rights, quality of life and opportunities that rise on a daily basis. This, however, will never be realized, unless the Kenyan people themselves understand the wisdom of their ancestors that the children are the hope for the future.
Even though the above challenges exist, the government can still protect Kenyan kids. It should work hand in hand with the society to ensure they realize the protection of human rights. There is no other way out other than that.
