✨ Key Highlights

The Supreme Court is hearing a landmark case 13 years after the 2007-2008 post-election violence, potentially redefining justice and reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence under Kenya's 2010 Constitution.

Petition brought by eight survivors and human rights organisations seeking equal justice and reparations.
Key institutions involved: Supreme Court, High Court, IPOA and the State.
Previous High Court decision compensated only four of the eight survivors, creating an alleged "hierarchy of victims".
