Protesters urge Kenyan government to address femicide issue

Thousands of Kenyans, primarily women, marched in Nairobi demanding the government declare gender-based violence a national crisis amid rising femicide and child disappearances. The protests were organized by the End Femicide movement and other advocacy groups following the murder of gospel singer Rachel Wandeto. Activists have given the government a 40-day ultimatum to take action, citing the need for better investigations and stronger protections. In response, authorities announced the creation of a dedicated investigative unit to address the issue.
