Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei, 33, was brutally set on fire and murdered by her ex-boyfriend in Kenya. She was allegedly set on fire by her ex-boyfriend outside her home after returning from church on 1 September 2024. It is alleged that an altercation took place before Rebecca’s ex-boyfriend poured petrol on her and set her alight.

Rebecca was rushed to the hospital, but she succumbed to her severe injuries four days later, on 5 September 2024. Originally from Uganda, Rebecca had been living and training in Kenya. Just weeks before her tragic death, she proudly represented her country at the Paris Olympics, finishing 44th in the marathon.

Rebecca’s death is a painful reminder of the ongoing epidemic of gender-based violence and femicide that continues to claim the lives of women across our continent and beyond. Let us honour Rebecca’s memory by standing in solidarity with our sisters across Africa and the world. We demand justice and change, and we will not stop until no woman lives in fear.

Rest in peace, Sister. #WomenForChange #SayHerName #JusticeForRebecca #justiceforrebeccacheptegei

For 3 years, the Taliban have showed us exactly who they are: misogynists who oppress girls and women. Their new laws banning Afghan women from speaking in public only further extend their system of gender apartheid. https://t.co/KjSazdGIEd

Next time you read a book in the park as a woman, remember it’s now a privilege.

In Afghanistan, you can’t read a book. In public. As a woman.

Hope over hate, always.

Amid the horrifying racist and Islamophobic violence, we see countless acts of courage and resistance.

Communities are uniting and supporting each other against hatred. Together, we are stronger.

The problem with modern life is that basically from the moment I open my eyes, my cortisol levels go up.
And they stay there. And they stay there.

And I'm tired of it. We aren't meant to exist like this.
