I beg to give notice of the following Motion- THAT, AWARE THAT Article 29 of the Constitution guarantees every person the right to freedom and security, including the right not to be subjected to any form of violence or torture, AND AWARE THAT, Article 43 guarantees every person economic and social rights, such as the right to the highest attainable standards of health, including the right to health care services, and reproductive health care; FURTHER AWARE that, the country has enacted various legislative and policy measures to address sexual and gender-based violence, including the Sexual Offences Act, No. 3 of 2006, the Children‟s Act, No. 8 of 2001, the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act, No. 2 of 2015, and the National Health Sector Standard Operating Procedures on the Management of Sexual Violence in Kenya of 2014; COGNIZANT THAT, in addition to various pieces of legislation Kenya has ratified and domesticated various conventions, treaties and other international instruments addressing sexual and gender-based violence; CONCERNED THAT, despite the existence of an extensive legal framework, many of the victims of sexual and gender-based violence do not report these cases, leading to a low conviction rate and lack of co- ordination between health facilities and other agencies involved in mitigating sexual and gender-based violence; DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT, there are no designated care units in public health facilities to deal with sexual and gender-based violence victims; NOTING THAT"
