Kenyan President William Ruto has pledged 100 million Kenyan shillings (about $865,000) to support a 16-day campaign against femicide, starting November 25. The campaign, led by women leaders, aims to combat gender-based violence, particularly intimate-partner violence, which affects four out of every five women killed in Kenya. Ruto emphasized the need for collaboration among government, religious leaders, parents, and civil society to address the issue and protect women's lives and dignity.
