Abstract
Throughout history Women have experienced various levels and diverse forms of
violence. We hear of several incidents of sexual and domestic violence against women. It
is believed that, women in our societies have been exposed to exploitations,
discriminations, abuses and frustrations among others.
Abortion and rape in Kenyan society have been increasing everyday. Problems facing
women are not confined to those in traditional societies. They extend to the so called
modern societies too. In Kenya nowadays, rape is one of the most worrying realities
confronting females. It is shocking that daily there are incidents of rape and abortion
being reported. The serious social impacts of such a situation poses, a major challenge to
the Kenyan Church.
Every individual by nature has to pass through various stages in life. It is
unavoidable for a human being to live without challenges and problems in his/her
lifetime. Always changes bring growth and make the individual become mature. The
Church, which fights for equality and human rights in order to bring peace and justice all
over the world, has a lot to do as far as Kenyan Society is concerned.
