More than 100 women and girls have been killed in the last six months as the country grapples with gender-based violence (GBV) that threatens the fabric of society.
Ministry of Interior released the latest figures as members of the Technical Working Group on Gender Violence were sworn into office to identify trends, hotspots, and causes contributing to GBV and femicides.
The Nancy Baraza-led task force will further analyse the adequacy of current legal and policy frameworks and make proposals on necessary amendments to laws in a bid to tame frequent violence against women.
At least 10 activists, including Amnesty International Kenya Executive Director Irungu Houghton, were arrested last year during an anti-femicide march.
