VOCAL Africa stands in deep outrage and mourning as we address the horrifying surge of femicide and brutal violence against women and girls in Kenya.
From the heartbreaking loss of innocent children to the systemic failure of our national and county governments, it is clear that women and girls are under siege while the state remains shamefully silent.
We demand that the Government of Kenya immediately declare femicide a national disaster and implement the urgent recommendations required to ensure justice, accountability and the basic right to safety for all.

Uki suspect someone anexperience abuse, check privately, offer support, na share hotline numbers. Your action inaweza save life.

We’re LIVE.
In many Kenyan communities,GBV is still dismissed as “family matters.”
But the law is clear violence is a crime, not culture. The Protection Against Domestic Violence Act exists for a reason. Let’s talk about enforcement gaps.

Lets talk about GBV- 🧵🪡
Gender-Based Violence ni violence against someone kwa sababu ya gender yao. This can be, physical, sexual, emotional, na economic abuse. Ni human rights violation na inaweza affect health, education, na future yako.

GBV means Gender-Based Violence. It is violence directed at someone because of their gender, which is wrong and illegal.#BintiShine#Usikimye@usikimye@CREAWKenya
Girls trapped in abuse need support, options, and voices that protect them.
Communities, stand up. Men, stand up.
Silence protects abusers.
#BintiShine#Usikimye@usikimye@CREAWKenya
Being empowered isn’t just confidence, it’s knowledge of your rights. Knowing your body, your limits, and your legal protections makes it harder for abusers to succeed. GBV thrives where ignorance rules.
