Comments on women's bodies, Isuggestive sexual remarks and groping are the most common forms of sexual harassment in Nairobi matatu routes. It shows that 58 per cent of women face sexual harassment on surveyed Sacco routes everyday. At least 38 per cent of women working in public transport named verbal harassment as the most common forms of sexual harassment followed by groping at 32 per cent. "Sacco managers interviewed said that they had not experienced sexual harassment cases hence not developed sexual harassment policies," the report shows. The toolkit also recommends the development and implementation of zero-tolerance policies to sexual harassment and mandatory bi-annual sexual harassment trainings to sensitise staff on the policies.
