FOREWORD The Government of Kenya’s commitment to provide for children out of family care is demonstrated by the various policies and legislative frameworks that have been developed in the recent years. All children are equal rights-holders and deserve to be within families and community as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Children Act 2001. The development of this training manual recognizes the role of the family and the community in the care of our children while the accompanying user friendly handbook aims to boost the skills and knowledge of case workers and practioners in the child protection sector. All efforts need to be made to support families to continue to care for their children and, if this is not possible, to place a child in a family-based alternative care arrangement, such as; kinship care, foster care, guardianship, Kafaalah, Supported Independent Living (SIL), or adoption.

  • Addressing Sexual Violence and HIV Risk Among Married Adolescent Girls in Rural Nyanza, Kenya Prepared by Chi-Chi Undie
    promoting healthy, safe, and productive transitions to adulthood Brief no. 19 March 2011 Addressing sexual violence and HIV risk among married adolescent girls in rural Nyanza, Kenya Prepared by Chi-Chi Undie arried adolescent girls form a large segment of Kenyan youth, yet they are largely overlooked by researchers and program Mmanagers concerned with the lives of adolescents. As evidence demonstrates, this neglected population of married girls is likely to be vulnerable and in need of support. HIV infection is much higher among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa than among boys. In settings such as Nyanza Province, Kenya, rates of HIV infection are extremely high, and evidence is increasing in some settings that girls who are mar- ried are much more likely to be infected with HIV, compared with their unmarried sexually active counterparts. Sexual violence and HIV/AIDS are a lethal combination. Research indicates that the risk of HIV infection following forced sex is likely to be higher than following consensual sex. Finding ways to tackle sexual violence and HIV infection simultaneously has therefore become a major public health endeavor. Married adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual vio- lence; however, there is a lack of data to guide intervention efforts specifically for such girls because they have largely remained invisible in programs. This brief describes a program addressing the problem of sex- ual violence and the risk of HIV transmission within marriage in Kenya’s Nyanza Province. The program was based on the Population Council’s analysis of the 2003 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) as well as on formative research within rural Nyanza.
