Can a national government implement a violence prevention and response strategy for key populations in a criminalized setting? A case study from Kenya.

CONCLUSIONS: Over the past four years in Kenya, there has been an increase in violence reporting among FSWs and PWID and an increase in violence response among all KPs. This case study demonstrates that violence against KP members can be effectively addressed under the leadership of the national government, even in an environment where KP members' behaviours are criminalized. Creating an enabling environment to promote wellbeing and safety for KP members is a critical enabler for HIV prevention programmes to achieve 95-95-95 goals. PMID: 30033535 [PubMed - in process]
