Supporting women is crucial for a sustainable, fair, and inclusive future. Women have lost 64 million jobs and are 2/3 of the 828 million affected by hunger. VAWG has intensified, and over 13 million girls are expected to be forced into marriage by 2030.

In humanitarian contexts, 70% of women experience GBV,This is due to displacement,disruptions in family and social networks, and changing roles. GBV negatively impacts survivors' physical and mental health, increasing their risk of infections, HIV, and depression.

The current MPs are not following the process of public participation, which was supposed to occur before signatures and at ward level in Nakuru county. They are only focusing on the show ground, which is not inclusive and should be a walking activity.

Not following the public procedure, which was intended to take place before to signatures and at the ward level. PP is a ward-level activity. Nakuru County exemplifies how Kuresoi people are obliged to travel all the way. The entire excise is witch hunting.

The most severe type of GBV against women is Femicide, which is the killing of women and girls for gender-related reasons. It's time to solve the mystery of Kenya's increasing death toll. Two to three women are murdered every day, we have lost 97 women 90days #Stopfemicide

Violence against women and girls is a significant human rights violation and public health concern, with one in three women globally experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. Broken systems: broken lives!!!! #stopfemicide
