As Kenya women including LGB5TQ+women and girls in all our diversities, we are tired of the dehumanization that permeates our existence, the tragically normalized occurrences of femicide, and the pervasive victim-blaming rhetoric surrounding violence against women and intimate partner violence ( IPV).

In feminist solidarity, we, represented by @FIK, 2usikimie, and 2zamara, call on Kenyan women, allies, civil society organizations, and government leaders to join us in a  united front on January 27, 2024, at Jevanjee Gardens from 10:00 am... "

The announced march comes after the country has witnessed several gruesome murders of ladies with the prime suspects being their lovers.

The deaths of socialite Starlet Wahu, a Machakos university student, and recently the dismembered body of a lady in Roysambu have raised debate on this issue.

Among such debates, femicide has gained popularity all of the victims were women.
