    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 27th January 2024, we had an annual national protest demanding an end to this scourge. To put this into perspective, statistics show that out of 546 deaths by femicide in the recent years, 241 of the perpetrators were husbands and 130 were boyfriends. Women are being killed, murdered or butchered by people they thought they were safe with at first instant. There is a case of Kelvin Kang’ethe who murdered his girlfriend in United States of America (USA) and then he was traced in Kenya, arrested and taken to the police station. He escaped from there but he was re-arrested. Clearly, it points to the seriousness in the handling of femicide perpetrators. A society is judged by how it treats the marginalised and most vulnerable. Women in this country undergo many challenges. We demand that women must be treated right. We are unapologetically demanding that women’s dignity must be upheld and women’s lives matter in this country."
