Kenyan Women Hold Peaceful March Against Femicide After Increased Cases
Thousands of Kenyan women on Saturday held a peaceful march against femicide in Nairobi and other towns after increased cases.
The women, who were joined by several other men waved placards saying “being a woman is not a crime, protect women and stop killing women” called for protection and tough action against perpetrators.
The march follows the murder of socialite Starlet Wahu and JKUAT student Rita Waeni whose bodies were discovered in short-stay houses in Nairobi, in what paints a grim picture of the extent of femicide in the country.
According to Africa Data Hub, 500 cases of femicide have been reported since 2016 with many of them committed by people well known to the victims.
Most of them are committed by a friend, relative, or intimate partner of the murdered woman.
