Residents of Uasin Gishu County turned out in numbers to submit their views and recommendations on how to reduce GBV and femicide.
The residents spoke during the public participation exercise conducted by The Technical Working Group on GBV including Femicide to collect views aimed at fighting the increasing incidents of GBV and femicide in the country.
The public participation led by Myot council of elders' chairman Alex Mursi emphasized the importance of moral upbringing and proper parental guidance to the children in order to curb cases of GBV and femicide from generation to generation.
The elders argued that modern lifestyles have eroded the social norms of the communities which defined acceptable and appropriate conduct and which people generally conformed to in order to maintain social order and avoid negative consequences.
