Summary:	"Kenya's 2017 elections were marred by violence and serious human rights abuses, including widespread sexual violence against women and girls, and sexual attacks on men, in terms of numbers and locations. [This report] is based on interviews wih 68 female and 3 male survivors and 12 witnesses to the post-election violence in some of Nairobi's informal settlements, Kisumu, and Bungoma. ... The report highlights devastating physical, mental, social and economic impacts of the sexual violence, as well as significant barriers that prevent many survivors from accessing even basic medical and psychosocial support services and to seek justice for these crimes. For far too long, the Kenyan government has ignored election-related sexual crimes and victims' suffering. Kenyan authorities should take measures to protect women and girls, as well as men and boys against sexual violence, properly investigate cases and hold perpetrators accountable, and ensure survivors of sexual violence have access to comprehensive, quality and timely post-rape care."--Back cover.
