Given the stress levels in the world, maybe because of poverty levels or hard economic times, we have seen not only gender-violence, but some of the survivors are never lucky. They end up being killed. Establishment of such trauma centres will help the victims in getting education. Most women and men do not know or understand how to conduct themselves when they are accosted. When we have such centres, citizens will be advised and educated on how to handle such situations. We have seen girls and boys raped, but they do not know how to handle it. Some of them wash themselves up even before they go to hospital. Trauma counselling begins at the police stations where victims report the incidents. The establishment of such centres means that there will be care, support, counselling and timely treatment. I agree with Members that even boys are being subjected to this. Recently, we saw a video of a lady kicking a man because of Kshs200, and the video went viral. I have not seen reactions from the public like the incident involving Daudi Nzomo, who was recorded battering his wife. It is high time we treated men and women equally. We cannot say that it is only women who are being subjected to this. Boys have been sodomised left, right and centre, including by The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
