Amnesty International, in its April report, The State of the World’s Human Rights, has painted a grim picture of neglect of women, citing the wave of femicide and evictions.
The latest spate of evictions targeted people on the way leave land in Embakasi early this year.
Between March and April last year, the global report says the government oversaw the forceful eviction of more than 6,000 households in the Mathare and Mukuru Kwa Njenga informal settlements.
The demolitions came amid heavy rains and flooding.
At the same time, another silent crisis has been unfolding, which is violence against women.
