How to report sexual assault in Mombasa

This is what we have read and stored about reporting in Mombasa. Read only the part you need. You do not have to decide anything today.

Some of this comes from support organisations, published research or consular guidance rather than an official Kenya source. Sources are listed below.

the emergency number

999

If you are in danger right now, call this number. Escrow is not an emergency service and cannot send anyone to you.

where to report

You can go to the Gender-Based Violence Recovery Centre at Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital, which offers combined medical care, counselling, and police-liaison support for survivors, or report at any police station.

what to bring

No ID is needed to be treated, and care must be given whether or not you have reported to the police. The clinician fills in the official Post Rape Care form, and the police-linked form is the P3.

the exam window

The Coast General GBVRC runs a 24-hour emergency response service, and other sources note the best chance of preventing HIV, STIs, and pregnancy is reporting to a hospital within 72 hours of the assault.

the deadline

No official source sets out a fixed reporting deadline for adult sexual assault in Kenya. Report and seek care as soon as it is safe to.

support organisations

People near you who do this every day.

These are independent of Escrow. They can sit with you through a report, and they can also just talk.

  • Gender-Based Violence Recovery Centre, Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital

    via hospital, Mombasa

  • National GBV Helpline (toll-free)

    1195

sources

Every fact above came from one of these.

the honest note

This is information, not legal advice.

Requirements change, deadlines are read differently by different offices, and a station can move. Nobody here is your lawyer. For advice about your own case, ask a lawyer or a support organisation in Mombasa.

when you are ready

A report is yours. You can seal it, publish it as a pin, or leave it where it is. Nothing happens until you say so.
