Every year on March 8, the world marks International Women's Day, as a day when women are celebrated from all walks of life.
But this year, the celebrations are not as exciting as other years specifically in Kenya.
This comes after a video of a female driver being sexually harassed by boda boda riders along Forest Road went viral on social media.
On Tuesday, women took part in a procession organized by FIDA to condemn violence against women and girls in public and private spaces in Nairobi.
President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered all boda boda riders to be registered afresh.
The Head of State also directed a crackdown on all rogue boda boda riders across the country.
"I did give instructions and I have ordered all boda boda operators starting here in Nairobi and moving across the country to be registered afresh," the President said.
"A boda boda is not a licence to strip a woman. There should never be a repeat of what happened on Friday. This is a blight on the whole Kenyan society."
Enraged Kenyans are signing an online petition to compel the government to impose stiffer laws and reign in on rogue boda boda riders who are increasingly becoming a security threat to other road users.
