dc.description.abstractThis dissertation will argue that the normative and procedural protection framework established under the international refugee law regime is inadequate to provide protection to refugee victims of sexual violence. It will also argue that the various duty bearers vis-a-vis the right to security of refugee women in Kenya are not living up to their legal obligations. It will also illustrate the po- tential benefits of using the human rights law regime to enhance the protection of refugee women from sexual violence. The study includes a detailed analysis of the international and regional treaties, declarations, general comments and resolutions which make explicit and implicit reference to the right to life, security of person, freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and the right to health and draws upon relevant case law which outlines the obligations of the various duty bearers.en_ZA
