"Kenyan Women Rise Up: Marching Against Femicide"

Thousands of people in Kenya marched against femicide, decrying the recent murders of more than a dozen women and calling for an end to sexual and gender-based violence. The protests, the largest ever held against such violence in the country, saw participants holding signs with slogans and demanding justice for the victims. Human rights organizations highlighted the underreporting of cases and urged authorities to vigorously investigate and prosecute perpetrators. The protests come in the wake of a rising number of femicide cases, with significant portions of victims being killed by men they knew and trusted.
