Table 1 Examples of anonymous SGBV experiences university students recorded during EVOC training

From: From pilot project to toolkit: using lessons learned from a comprehensive university campus sexual violence activity in Kenya

A friend was raped in the hostels by a guard just because he asked her for sex and the girl refused. He went to her room and raped her.

A friend was invited to a party with her male friend. She did not know that they were planning something with her friend’s brother. On arrival, her friend pushed her into the house, and the brother of her friend raped her with assistance of some other guys.

She invited herself over. I said okay. She suggested watching a movie and later decided to stay over. In the middle of the night, she started acting suggestively. I wasn't for the idea but the man in me could not be held down. In the morning, she told her friends I forced her into sex and I am not even good at it.

In the past, I have witnessed four of my plot-mates [in a rented house] having to engage in sex with the caretaker due to late payment. They ended up having kids and [were told they would be] chased out if they disclose.

[My friend] had drunk too much and had limited options on where to sleep. She agreed to sleep at a friend’s place. She asked the [male] friend (who also drank thereafter) not to have sex with her. But when they went back to his place, she got to bed, slept, and woke up to him inside her.

A lecturer was giving candy/money to a female student to impress her.

A friend broke up with a girl, and the girl still texts him. It is getting uncomfortable.

A friend of mine was attacked by some of his classmates on his way home from school.

A friend of mine took a lady to a club and bought her alcohol. Then she became drunk. He took her to his house and demanded sex from her.

This male friend of mine went to a house party. Later in the night, he went to the next room to rest and then was given a shot which sadly was spiked (Viagra included). A group of four females then had sex with him and left.

A female friend, first year, was raped by rugby players in the rugby field after the match, in the name of celebration because they had won a trophy.

Someone created a fake Facebook account to follow up on my stories.

My friend had sex with his partner, and then, afterwards, he realized someone video-recorded them. It went viral on the social media. The lady…hung herself.
