Rebecca Cheptegei’s tragic murder highlights the vulnerability of women, even elite athletes, in male-dominated societies, where patriarchal norms persist and violence against women is rampant.
Audrey Mugeni underscores the gravity of the situation stating, 'we are already at 174 femicides this year alone, a grim reminder that violence against women continues unabated.'
In Kenya, one in three women experiences abuse by the age of 18, indicating a pervasive culture of violence against women rooted in patriarchal norms.
The shocking reality displayed is that successful women, like Cheptegei, may become targets of violence, revealing a troubling intersection of gender dynamics and societal expectations.
