This paper was developed following a three-day workshop organised by the Commonwealth Secretariat and held in Nairobi from 24 to 26 February 2016. The purpose of the workshop was to review and validate a Commonwealth Judicial Bench-Book (JBB) on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) for East African jurisdictions. The participants comprised mainly judges from the four East African Commonwealth jurisdictions and other experts who deliberated on the adequacy of the JBB in addressing judicial intervention in tackling VAWG in East Africa.
