Africa Daily - Is Kenya tackling its problem with femicide?
Download Is Kenya tackling its problem with femicide?
In January 2024, protests erupted across Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa as Kenyans demanded justice for women killed in a wave of femicides.
The government promised action, launching a 90 day task force to deliver recommendations to President William Ruto.
But that deadline has long passed and there’s still no clear plan.
BBC Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje speaks to feminist activist Editar Ochieng and policy expert Kavinya Makau to explore why progress has stalled, what’s happening behind the scenes and their thoughts on whether Kenya is truly committed to ending femicide.
