Over the past 11 months, eight women are killed by men in Kenya every month. Data from the femicide awareness platform Counting Dead Women Kenya shows that 25 women were murdered by men between January and February this year alone. Nairobi County leads in the body count of murdered women followed by Kiambu and Nakuru. The study, dubbed "When Men Murder Women", was conducted by Emerson and Russell Dobash, who are renowned researchers on violence against women. Unfortunately, the rising body count of murdered women is also fuelled by their rationalisation.
