Cases of fathers having forceful sex with their daughters are common across Kenya, a new study on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) has shown. About 17 per cent of fathers have had sex with their own girls with the research findings showing that many Kenyans (about 49 per cent) agree that GBV is widespread. The study which comes at a time when Pastor Peter Wambua Kyonge of Jesus Light of Your Life Church in Njiru is facing charges of impregnating one of his daughters, was carried out in three regions namely: Rift Valley, Coast and Central. In Rift Valley 47 per cent of the respondents agreed that GBV was common, Coast (58 per cent) while 42 per cent of those interviewed in Central approved of the vice. The findings were conducted by Gender Violence Recovery Centre (GVRC) of Nairobi Women’s Hospital between March 2013 and March this year. The sample is a reflection of the entire Kenyan population. The researchers however did not give factors and reasons that influenced their choice of the three regions, ignoring Nairobi, Western, Eastern, Nyanza and North Eastern. It was established that more men from Rift Valley and Central believe it is acceptable for a man to physically abuse his wife and children as compared to respondents from Coast.

Hey, Al Sharlatan's father did it. It's a civil right for their fathers to mate with their daughters.

It is believed that 20% of all women worldwide are molested at some time in their youth by either their father, grand father, step father, brother, cousin or uncle!

Prove?

I think it's sad that so many of those people believe that it's acceptable to do that. It's one thing if crime is common but it's another thing for the society to believe that this is acceptable, to force sex on someone who doesn't want it. That must leave victims feeling like nobody has any empathy for them and feeling disconnected because they are hurting while everyone else tells them that what happened is right.

Something which you support.

Prove?

Yeah. Don't make unsubstantiated claims.

The vast majority of American Jews support the genocide of infants too, the "right to choose", and probably over half of so-called Christians in the west do too, so Africans don't have a monopoly on supporting abominations.

I believe it, with a grain of salt.

My ex claimed it happened to her...

Yerusha under-estimated the # of women 'world-wide' who have experienced 'gender based violence'

http://www.unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/ending-violence-against-women/facts-and-figures

According to a 2013 global review of available data, 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence. However, some national violence studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate partner[1]. -

Here is the statistic which Yerusha referred to, from the World Health Organization:

Intimate partner and sexual violence are mostly perpetrated by men against women and child sexual abuse affects both boys and girls. International studies reveal that approximately 20% of women and 5–10% of men report being victims of sexual violence as children. Violence among young people, including dating violence, is also a major problem.
