Protests have erupted across Kenyan cities in response to a disturbing rise in gender-based violence, highlighted by recent high-profile killings that have reignited concerns over femicide in the country. Women's rights organizations, led by figures such as Christine Kungu from the Federation of Women Lawyers, gathered in Nairobi to demand urgent government action to address this crisis.

This development underscores the growing public outcry against systemic violence towards women in Kenya, signaling a pivotal moment for advocacy and potential policy changes aimed at protecting women's rights and safety.
