The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) has condemned the brutal murder of a woman whose dismembered body was discovered in sacks at Approved Estate, Likoni. This horrifying incident highlights the alarming rise in femicide cases in Kenya and the urgent need for immediate intervention.
KEWOPA has called for swift and thorough investigations by the National Police Service (NPS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to ensure those responsible face justice. “It is heartbreaking to witness the increasing violence against women in our country. These gruesome acts must not be normalized. We demand decisive action to end femicide and ensure justice for victims,” KEWOPA stated.
The association is urging stronger law enforcement measures, judicial reforms, and community engagement to protect women and prevent further violence. The growing trend of gender-based attacks raises serious concerns about women’s safety and the effectiveness of existing policies.
As the nation mourns yet another tragic loss, KEWOPA stands in solidarity with the victim’s family and calls on all Kenyans to unite in the fight against femicide. The association remains committed to advocating for policies that safeguard women’s rights and hold perpetrators accountable.
This latest tragedy serves as a painful reminder that urgent action is needed. KEWOPA is calling on all stakeholders—government agencies, law enforcement, policymakers, and the public—to work together to put an end to gender-based violence once and for all.
