Kawirimi only works when u have been struck by a physical force. Being that genjutsu is only illusion, therefore a trick on the mind, it is not truly physical and does not cause physical harm. Yes genjutsu may make the person feel if he or she has been stricken but in fact they haven't.

I hope this cleared some things up. Do u have any other questions concerning kawarimi?

This isn't correct; Kawairimi isn't triggered by being struck, the purpose of Kawairimi when used defensively is to entirely avoid being stricken. Kawairimi is used as a reaction to oncoming physical harm via displacing the body. In theory, this means that were you placed in a Genjutsu where a myriad of kunai are thrown at you, you could use kunai to evade these kunai, though ultimately you are simply wasting your chakra. However, it isn't possible to use Kawairimi to prevent yourself from being captured in the Genjutsu or to free yourself from the Genjutsu for a myriad of reasons, most notably: the genjutsu isn't a physical force, but rather, a wave of chakra designed to deceive your perceptive senses, so as long as you maintain whatever medium by which this chakra travels, you will be unable to prevent it from ensnaring you; next, once within the Genjutsu, you would have to first realize you are in an illusion before you could think of freeing yourself of it, and Kawairimi itself generates nothing which can shock the perceptive senses, meaning it is unable to provide the spark with which to overcome a Genjutsu.
