As the world celebrates Mother's Day today, many women will be showered with flowers, heartfelt cards, and warm embraces from their children and loved ones.

It's a day meant to honor the beauty of motherhood-its sacrifices, joys, and unyielding love.

But for some Kenyan mothers, this year's Mother's Day will be steeped in sorrow.

For them, the day serves as a painful reminder of children lost too soon during the June 25, 2024, anti-Finance Bill protests, where police brutality extinguished the dreams of a generation.
