Hundreds of women, activists, and mothers of victims marched through Nairobi CBD on Madaraka Day to protest the escalating rates of femicide and child killings in Kenya.

• Protesters highlighted that an estimated eight women are killed daily, and between 17 and 23 children go missing each day.
• Key organizers included Ruth Mumbi from Woman Collective Kenya and Wambui Kimani from the Zamara Foundation.
• The demonstration occurred despite President William Ruto leading national Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir, with protesters expressing frustration over perceived government inaction and the lack of implementation of recommendations from a presidential task force on Gender-Based Violence.
