Kenya's Hidden Epidemic – BBC Africa Eye documentary
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Kenya, cases of gender-based violence exploded. But a combination of fear, stigma and a lack of trust in the police mean the majority of cases are never reported. It has been described as Kenya’s ‘hidden epidemic’.
Africa Eye reporter Tom Odula investigates the deep-seated roots behind the violence,…

Government need to support these women and children !! Oh my goodness this hurts!!!!!
This hurt
Im very wicked, but come on man i can never do this to anybody 😭😭😭
This was very hard to watch.
People can be incredibly barbaric.
I’ll never understand why men go to the extent of hurting their partners, what’s the point of hurting your partner and even go to the extent of murdering your own child? Not even animals do this to their own. My heart truly breaks for Mary
❤❤❤❤
hi how can I contact u??
Am really sorry for what happened to you it’s incredible how much you have done for your kids l🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I recently returned from Kenya and I see how this starts in childhood, with parents whacking and smacking their kids, even in public. Their childhood games are aggressive and violent, hitting each other with sticks and such. So they are used to hitting each other. It is really barbaric and I hope it stops as we are not ANIMALS and should be able to conduct a life without resorting to blows. This is something deeply entrenched in Kenyan culture – I hope it changes, especially for the women's sake!

Gave bible📖
Automatic lord work and change life. Bible is the word of God. Came from Heaven 🙌
i am still proud that people like peter and those who stood their ground for respect to women are still around. no matter how small their number are. they are what keep society intact and going, why values and morals are still alive and well.
As a Kenyan man I find it hard to have sympathy when the majority of us keep sympathizing with entitled boys and their fear of being independent men with self control. Kenyans keep promoting such boys who don't want to grow up, we adopt systems like democracy, politics, religion, capitalism, which only promote boys who don't want responsibility for human existence. Kenyans should stop following and sympathizing with these bible and koran religions created to worship irresponsible entitled boys. Furthermore you have rights of passage like circumcision where they tell 12 year old boys that they are men. Afrikan boys don't want to grow up, they want free things. The cause of all this, is that the government does not provide technically relevant training to boys and girls, to make them valuable in society, this inadequacy and inability of self construct, breeds violence. The school system is useless for the demands of the economy and has no sharing of values and experiences translated into useful physical solutions.
So sad
African men need faith and education how to treat a family. I am very sorrow of what happen to this young mother. As Africans we must have an office that the protect, promote and help women suffering in family violence.
Wow, these men are sick, I am shocked by this
Guess what's still going on in 2024
Hi first time here
That lady police officer with those sweet empty words..promises.
I wish she can team up with the lady having a rescue center and help people 😢
Was that rapist a matatu driver??
He had blue shirt uniform 😢
What a shame ar Jacaranda gardens
Eti initiation 😢😢
Interesting that the man who argues that women have to be respected is the one who looks the most educated and groomed
This gives me a hurt in my heart that’s unexplainable 😢please Lord protect them Lord please 😢😢😢
Patriarchy needs to solve what they caused ie holding men accountable…remember also these women are survivors not just victims
Haitians stand up for revolution.
The story of the young boy who witnessed his sister's murder and the mother's torture broke me. The trauma of not allowing any man to come close to his mother…and the irony is that he will also grow up to be a man. Do those who commit these heinous crime stop to think of the aftermath???
This video evokes so much anger in me.
As a survivor of dv, i cannot get married again.
Islam and tribal culture are the roots of the problem in Kenya …. and indeed most of the so-called "developing world"
Heart wrenching…
Please, any update about the baby girl offender? Was he ever caught and jailed forever? Thank
Great reporting
Sad, to say the least
The man speaking on valuing women is the clean, eloquent one. The ones advocating beating women are clearly bums. What woman must respect a bum that carries himself like a bum. You think respect comes from the hand? What poor, bum mentality is that?
The country of Kenya is full of problems that cannot be solved, and it is Haiti that we can come to provide a solution, stay at home, we are ignorant, our politicians do not want to give the Haitian police work because it is for the United States.
All of us Haitians want to say this word with the Kenyan military Haiti does not need our help, stay at home if we come we will all die,
These men are sick,and that boy whose grandmother told him such rubbish should let him first practice on her and see how she would enjoy same…I am thanking God I was not born in such uncivilised country.😮😢
African countries should have women police officers. As many as 80% of women on the force should be women so we could be able to look out for one another and our children.
Kenyan women largely do see their men as weak if he does not beat them. Not talking punching but a belt to the backside or a slap every now and then. This culture then fosters women to see men who don't do that as weak. So its a catch 22.
This is a sick culture. Islamic culture also oppresses women like this.
Thanks for this reporting
Jesus said in Matthew 24
That the love of many will wax cold. It's unbelievable that a person can fo that to the mother of their kids. I honestly shef both if your tears.
May God comfort us all.
