@404Eraa The point is, when men are killed, the motive is rarely informed by their gender. And there are cases where women are killed not bcz of their gender but for some other motive. Then there’s femicide, a unique crime where women are targeted and killed bcz they are women

[agi meroka @agimutua]

@OduorNguka @RkLelei @MThiankolu So we teach the victim how not to be a victim? It is the fault of women that there are men in this world who will kill them for the thrill of it, so let’s teach women how not to fall prey! How about we teach men that they should not kill women?!

[agi meroka @agimutua]

@MThiankolu True. And yet, when it comes to femicide, one thing that is evident is that the women are killed because they are women. Because perpetrators think the lives of their victims do not matter because those victims are women. We cannot ignore that dimension- it’s the motive

[agi meroka @agimutua]

@MThiankolu Not to say homicide should not be taken seriously- it ought to be but the best way of getting there is not by down playing femicide. Why not hold police accountable? Same way women’s rights activists did with crimes against women?

[agi meroka @agimutua]

@MThiankolu So should femicide be treated less seriously because homicide is? Women’s rights activists have fought many battles to get police to take crimes against women seriously- there was a time when police let rapists get away with slashing grass!

[agi meroka @agimutua]

@MThiankolu And again I ask, why should that be a factor in how we respond to cases of femicide? If cases homicide are not taken seriously, that should be treated as an issue independent of femicide. The comparisons between the two are generally problematic
