Other incidents recorded in the COG reports demonstrate examples of electoral violence. This typology expands the traditional categories of electoral violence monitoring and research efforts to encompass the nuances presented by women's experiences. Research from Amnesty International suggests that post-election violence in Kenya included 40,000 incidences of sexual and gender-based violence, confirming the findings of Commonwealth observers of increased ‘levels of violence perpetuated against women’. In the case of Swaziland, the levels of intimidation experienced by female candidates was noted to have been encouraged by traditional leaders, because a female candidate ‘wore trousers’ and in one case because the female candidate in question was a ‘widow’.
