"Mass Protests in Kenya Demand End to Femicide Crisis"

Thousands of people in Kenya marched in cities and towns to protest against the increasing violence against women, following the recent slayings of more than a dozen women. The anti-femicide demonstration, the largest of its kind in the country, saw protesters wearing T-shirts printed with the names of women who were homicide victims this month and shouting "Stop killing us!" The crowd, predominantly women, brought traffic to a standstill in Nairobi and expressed anger towards the government's response to the issue. The protest comes amid reports of at least 14 women being killed since the start of the year, with many more cases going unreported, highlighting the urgent need for action to address gender-based violence in Kenya.
