Protesters blew whistles and chanted 'stop killing women' as they marched in Nairobi, emphasizing the urgent need for action against gender-based violence. Sadly, police responded with tear gas.
Amnesty International condemned the violent response of the police, stating that it reflects a direct attack on Kenya's democratic principles and the human rights of its citizens.
Activist Mwikali Mueni expressed her dismay following her injury at the protest, urging the president to take meaningful action against police brutality if he is serious about ending femicide.
President William Ruto previously committed funding to combat femicide, calling the situation 'tragic and unacceptable', yet the realities of ongoing protests highlight the systemic issues still present.
