    "content": "As a background, sexual and gender based violence is an umbrella of any harmful act that is perpetrated against person’s will. It is based on socially ascribed gender differences between men and women. The nature and the extend of specific GBV vary across cultures, countries, regions and examples of this include rape, sexual exploitation, false prostitution, issues of domestic violence, forced or early marriages that we experience in our country and harmful tradition practices such as the famous FGM. As we speak to this we have pupils and students from schools that are going through such harassments. Such acts of violence though defined mostly in respect to women, include acts that inflict physical, mental or sexual harm or suffering threats, coercion and other deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or occurring in private life. These acts amount to violations of human rights. It is often linked to unequal gender relations within communities and abuses of power. I come from Makueni County and I represent the people of Kibwezi Constituency. There was a clip from Makueni County that went viral of one Mr. Nzomo who was brutally beating the wife. He was telling the wife that he was going to cut her throat and kill her. I felt for the children and the wife of Mr. Nzomo. We are calling upon the DCIO, that such brutal acts should not be encouraged."
