color:#1F497D'>While cyberspace have provided secure tools and spaces
where women can enjoy their freedom of expression, information and privacy of
communication, the same benefits of anonymity and privacy also extend to those
who employ ICTs for criminal activities and use the internet to commit violence
against women. The use of mobile phones and internet to stalk, abuse,
traffic, intimidate and humiliate women is palpable in developing countries
including Kenya. The lack of specific cybercrime/cyber security legislation
makes it even more difficult to punish those who use ICTs tools to conduct
violence against women. Kenya Communications ( Amendment) Act 2009
focused on the cybercrime against property and not the person. Kenya is
not alone but that is not a consolation. With increased use of
internet in Kenya with the onset of broadband, it is necessary to create the
necessary policy / regulatory and the operational framework to reign in the
vice . </span><o:p></o:p></p>
