Is Kenya tackling its problem with femicide?
Amnesty International says more than 500 cases of femicide were recorded in Kenya between 2016 and 2023
In January 2024, protests erupted across Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa as Kenyans demanded justice for women killed in a wave of femicides.
The government promised action, launching a 90 day task force to deliver recommendations to President William Ruto.
But that deadline has long passed and there鈥檚 still no clear plan.
成人快手 Africa Daily鈥檚 Mpho Lakaje speaks to feminist activist Editar Ochieng and policy expert Kavinya Makau to explore why progress has stalled, what鈥檚 happening behind the scenes and their thoughts on whether Kenya is truly committed to ending femicide.
