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.
Research shows that quite a number of children in Kenya face social hardships; many are constantly being subjected to emotional and physical torture and sexual assaults. Such assaults usually lead to eruption of short and long-term effects. Usually, the short term and long term results of such violence as sexual assaults and emotional and physical exploitations lead to severe consequences not only to the victims but also to the society as a whole.
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.
About 63% females and 73% males have experienced physical torture. Twenty-six percent females and thirty-two percent of males have suffered violence while they were children. Some studies also show that out of the total population in the country, 13% females and 9% males have suffered from physical, emotional and sexual assaults all at once.
Experiencing violence by caregivers, parents and other people has subjected children under certain emotional torture. These have resulted to behavioral problems in both adolescence and adulthood. If Kenya is not going to take charge and control this situation, then it should be ready to observe some strange results among the children in this very state.
About 90% male and 60%v females between the age of 18 and 24 who were subject to sexual assaults reported that they went for a HIV/AIDS test. About nine of every ten of males and females who attended the test knew they tested positive for HIV/AIDS. This is a sad report that shows Kenya has to do all it takes to ensure safety prevails.
Because children are the hope for the future for this country, the government has to put effective measure in place to help protect children from any form of violence. Kenyan kids are special living beings and they should not be ignored. They are not baboons in the jungle.
