Why Women in Kenya Marched on December 10, 2024

Image
On December 10, 2024, thousands of Kenyan women and allies took to the streets in a powerful display of resistance against the alarming rates of femicide and gender-based violence (GBV) in the country. This protest marked one of the largest feminist demonstrations in Kenya's history, with over 20,000 participants rallying for justice, accountability, and systemic change. The Alarming Context Kenya has witnessed a troubling rise in femicide and GBV cases in recent years. Reports indicate that over 500 femicides occurred between 2019 and 2023, with numerous cases going unreported due to societal stigma and inadequate legal protections.

Critics argue that such acts may perpetuate harmful stereotypes and raise concerns about the commodification of intimacy. Feminist writer Julie Bindel cautions against celebrating Phillips as an "icon of sexual liberation,...

Motherhood: Unpacking the Silence and Breaking the Myths

Image
For centuries, motherhood has been idealized, romanticized, and placed on a pedestal as the ultimate role for women. Society conditions girls from an early age to see motherhood as a natural and inevitable aspiration—dolls in cradles, play kitchens, and endless narratives about maternal fulfillment reinforce the idea that to be a woman is to be a mother. But not every woman dreams of being a mother. In fact, many who do become mothers find themselves grappling with a stark truth: motherhood isn’t the natural, fulfilling experience they were told it would be. It’s time to create space for these voices—women who openly critique motherhood and challenge the myths surrounding it. Motherhood Isn’t “Natural” to Every Woman The narrative that motherhood is innate to women is deeply ingrained, but it is also deeply flawed. Motherhood is not biologically, emotionally, or psychologically natural to every woman. The assumption that women are biologically wired to desire children ignores the compl...
