The United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women (UN DEVAW) 1993 defined Gender-Based Violence (GBV) as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in private or in public life.” Online violence against women are acts “committed, abetted or aggravated” in part or fully, by the use of information and communication technologies.”
Initiative for Equality and Non Discrimination (INEND) is a local nonprofit organization that researches strategies for equality and acceptance in the coast region of Kenya and shares experiences with other stakeholders in an effort to contribute towards tolerance, non-discrimination and acceptance of gender and sexual minorities.
