Femicide in Kenya: Why Legal Recognition is Crucial
Femicide is the intentional killing of women due to their gender, often linked to prior intimate partner violence. In Kenya, 129 women were murdered in early 2025, highlighting an urgent crisis. The lack of legal recognition hampers action against these crimes. Advocates urge the government to classify femicide as a distinct crime for better accountability and protection of women's rights.

It’s scary sometimes; The Uncertainty!
Starting anything has to be one of the hardest thing to do in my opinion. It is so easy to reach out for varied excuses not to start something. It has taken a while, but here I am, finally starting something I have been wanting to do for a while. More information on what it is on this post....
PLEASE LET ME GO INCOGNITO……WELL, AT LEAST SOMETIMES

BLOGMAS Day 8 of 12 : What if it all works out
