Understanding Your Rights Under Kenyan Law

In Nairobi, as across Kenya, victims of domestic violence are protected by the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act, 2015, and constitutional provisions safeguarding human dignity and security. Understanding these rights is empowering. This legislation defines various forms of abuse—physical, sexual, psychological, and economic—and outlines remedies such as protection orders. A legal consultation with Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates will clarify what constitutes domestic violence under Kenyan law, what legal recourse is available, and how to initiate proceedings. We ensure you are informed about your fundamental rights, including the right to bodily integrity and freedom from inhumane treatment, as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
