Prosecution of perpetrators of human trafficking in Kenya is often hampered by lack of state-provided victim support services such as aftercare shelter and counselling services. This has seen prosecutorial agencies rely on non-governmental organisations and in some cases has compromised prosecution besides causing psychological harm to victims as they wait, sometime for months, to testify against their traffickers. An NGO recently sued government over a failure to provide five women trafficked from India and Nepal for sexual exploitation with appropriate care after they were rescued.
