Additional Information / Shotlist In 2008, following the post-2007 election violence in Nairobi, Kenya, MSF developed a care for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) component in Eastlands. MSF has been providing comprehensive medical care to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Eastlands. Currently, MSF is offering this service through the MSF Lavender House clinic, Dandora Youth Friendly Centre and in Ministry of Health (MoH) level 5 hospital of Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital. Since 2008, the number of cases seen has increased, with MSF treating 354 survivors per month in the different health facilities, with 80% being sexual violence cases. Due to high levels of shame and victimization from community and family members- especially when a perpetrator is known, sexual violence often goes unspoken, and survivors rarely receive care.
