Checked against official sources on 25 August 2026.
the emergency number
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
Go to the gender desk at any police station, or directly to a Gender Based Violence Recovery Centre such as the one at Kenyatta National Hospital or the Nairobi Women's Hospital. You can get medical care even without reporting to police first.
what to bring
No documents or ID are required to make a report. The police will give you a free P3 form for the medical exam once you report.
the exam window
Go for a medical exam as soon as possible at a Gender Based Violence Recovery Centre or any hospital. Emergency contraception and HIV prevention medication need to be taken within 72 hours to be effective.
the deadline
No clear public source confirms a fixed reporting deadline for adult sexual assault cases in Kenya. Report and seek care as soon as it is safe to do so.
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.
