These Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been developed based on current, evidence-based practices to facilitate joint action by all health actors to effectively respond to child sexual violence. The SOPs have been informed by lessons learned from establishing sexual violence (SV) prevention, response and recovery programs in Kenya; and are aligned to the National Guidelines on Management of Sexual Violence in Kenya, National Standard Operating Procedures on Management of Sexual Violence in Kenya, the Training curriculum for management of Sexual Violence and World Health Organization (WHO) and President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) guidance. They provide a practical guide for health care providers on the appropriate care of children and adolescents who have experienced sexual violence.
