Kenya’s Femicide Crisis: Stories, Data and Solutions

Kenya’s Femicide Crisis: Stories, Data and Solutions

On a recent trip to Nairobi, Lisa LaFlamme sat down with journalists Patricia Andago, lead researcher for the Silencing Women Project that has tracked femicide in Kenya since 2016, and Janet Mbugua, a renowned media personality, host of Fixing the Nation, and founder of the Inua Dada Foundation.
Together, they painted a stark picture of Kenya’s ongoing fight against femicide. In 2024, the country recorded its deadliest year for women. And 2025 is on a similar trajectory.
Protests have forced the crisis into the headlines, but what happens next? Awareness must lead to action, from challenging the normalization of misogyny and dismantling victim-blaming culture to strengthening safety mechanisms and ensuring government funds are properly allocated. The fight for justice is just getting started.
