Nominated MP Sabina Chege says street protests are not enough to end femicide. She explains the protests and marches should be targeted to meet the right audience.
“Those who marched on Saturday I can say they did achieve but not much, because by doing the marches in town you only get the people who know what they are doing.
I suggest they could have gone to Universities, colleges and places with hostels, get those girls and talk to them and create awareness, rather than just going to the streets, the streets are just for the media but you do not communicate much,” the politician says.
She insists the best way to help curb femicide is initiating mentorship programs which directly targets girls who’ve gone through such experiences or are likely to fall victims of femicide.
“If the protesters can initiate counselling centers and programs, they can know what these girls are facing and why they are led to such situations. Girls should also know that you cannot start from the top. What comes easy, go easy.
Girls need to know how to work hard and not just looking at money. When money is involved you will have to eventually pay for it. There’s no free money in this world,” – Sabina Chege.
