Gender CS Vows Action Against Unauthorised Recording and Sharing of Nairobi Woman’s Images

The Ministry of Gender, Culture, and Children Services has warned the public against circulating videos and images that show a woman in a vulnerable situation at an entertainment joint in Nairobi.

In a statement on her official X account on Sunday, January 18, CS Hanna Wendot Cheptumo warned that disseminating such material online violates the dignity, privacy, and bodily autonomy of an individual, as guaranteed by the Constitution.

"I have taken note of a disturbing video circulating in the public domain involving the recording and dissemination of images of a woman in a vulnerable condition within a Nairobi entertainment establishment," the CS said.

"The Government remains fully committed to the protection of human dignity and to the advancement of a society founded on respect, accountability and the rule of law, both offline and online," She added.

The CS has assured that the ministry is engaging with the relevant security agencies to ensure that the matter is reviewed and the necessary action is taken against those responsible for taking and posting the video on social media.
