Kenya is facing a surge in femicides, with over 97 women reportedly killed in the past three months, often by intimate partners or family members. This crisis reflects deep-seated issues such as gender inequality, toxic masculinity, and systemic failures in law enforcement, which often dismiss prior abuse reports. Economic dependency and cultural norms further trap women in unsafe situations. Activists are urging the government to declare femicide a national disaster and enforce existing laws more effectively. President Ruto has pledged increased resources for law enforcement and called for community efforts to combat societal decay contributing to this violence​. #stopfemicideke was all over the internet In the image is Valerie, Kenyan girl studying in Poland. ​
