Female parliamentarians on Monday, January 13, held a consultative meeting ahead of launching a nationwide campaign dubbed "Komesha Dhuluma" to spread awareness against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and femicide.

The campaign will be backed by the allocation of Ksh100 million by President William Ruto late last year to fight the vice.

It will involve 102 Members of Parliament drawn from the two houses including; 47 women representatives, 28 constituency MPs, 6 nominated MPs, 3 elected Senators, and 18 nominated Senators.

The campaign will work by having MPs lead sensitisation barazas and community outreach programmes specific to the needs of each constituency.
