October 2026 | Kenya GBV Tracker

1 indexed fatal person · 2 indexed serious non-fatal events. Updated 17 October 2026.

October is in progress; this ledger remains open to new evidence and corrections. This is an incomplete, nonprobability public-source register. It cannot estimate national incidence, prevalence or perpetrator distributions and must not be used to rank countries.

Counting note: fatal figures count people; serious non-fatal figures count distinct events. These are different units and should not be added together. See Methods & Data Dictionary →
