On Friday, actress Catherine Kamau aka Kate actress led the Nyeri march against femicide. 

Kate shared moments captured from the ongoing match via her socials stating that it is her responsibility as a mother and a woman who holds a position in society to protect fellow women. 

"The reason why we started this march, I feel as a woman and entertainer as someone who holds a position in society I have a responsibility to protect women. The majority of my following are women. The people who have supported me through and through are women. 

"I am a mother, I am a woman and I have a right to life. My sisters have a right to life," Kate stated.

"I have a responsibility to protect and speak against any form of violation of their rights, that's why I've decided to come and join them today." 

The award-winning actress spoke this while she was leading the Nyeri march that was scheduled to happen on the 26th of January 2024.

This march is scheduled as a means to communicate about the recent murders recorded in Kenya and with a call to stop the killings.
