More often than not, sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) is perceived to only happen in homes, communities and places of work. One would never imagine that SGBV also occurs in institutions of higher learning. “The Silenced Young Woman” documentary is a summary of actual SGBV cases and experiences of young women who dared to run for student leadership positions across several public universities in Kenya. Most disturbing is that no experiences were unique to a specific university. The nature of violence cuts across the region regardless of geographical location, area of study, political position and social status. The documentary was produced in collaboration with Badili Africa, Follow the conversation on social media on #TheSilencedYoungWoman.
