THERE IS LIFE AFTER LOVE




This past few weeks or maybe months have been sickeningly catastrophic , mostly I’d give one passionate story that would beautifully translate to a whole topic that we are experiencing as a nation, well I’ve been stuck for weeks with a lot of anger and I always feel as a writer bringing whatever anguish into the ink isn’t as per.

Well I have to speak up whether short, I have to say something, regardless of everything there is life after love. Well some of us might not relate to the current cases of femicide happening all around Kenya, but we have to make it personal, the victims of such monstrous deeds are a part of our community, someone’s daughter, someone’s sister and someone’s friend.

What happened to all lives matter, well the disgust continues when social media comes in, never have I been so disturbed by some influencers and bloggers justifying to one’s death where did our African Culture go to where evil was vibrantly condemned by the society.

Well today a Kenyan girl has no right to consent over preference because apparent rejection would be one’s death note.

Over 35 female lives lost this year to relationships' misfits, is our reality now justifying some sort of gender killing…….. Well, why?

We have to say No!

No justification whatsoever just No!

Say No to femicide!

  1. Well put....toxic masculinity..... these sons, fathers and brothers do not know how to handle empowered women that's why in the face of rejection they do not know any other way but violence.
    Violence against women should be condemned regardless of one's influence on social media or politically.

  2. We should also learn to walk out of abusive relationships early enough.

  3. in the words of Julias Malema, "No p**** is worth going to jail for, plus there are no p**** in jail." Thats what men should know before letting anger stemming from their emotive nerves lead them to monstrous reactions. There is power in walking away if it doesnt work.

  5. Personaly feel like kenya we havent reached a place of killing women Because thhei gender. What is happening is young people don't know how to handle relationships and anger management. Depression is also part of this men dont have channels to view their issues.Look at the courts today feminine in the name of FIDA are using that platform to block men from serious cases agaings them. It's time to relook on what steps should be taken.
