Kenyan singer Victoria Kimani now wants ladies to stop being vulnerable to men, as one of the measures that help end femicide.
Speaking days after thousands of women across the country held a peaceful march against the vice, Kimani said this should include men they call their lovers.
"I can only hope to equip ladies to stop allowing yourselves to be so vulnerable to these men... yes, even the men that you are currently in "love" with," she said in a post on Instagram.
The singer advised women to always have their money and always be quiet about it. She said their men do not have to know everything they own.
Kimani further advised that when they go on dates, they should not accept to visit a man or have a man visit their houses.
"Going on a date? Share your location with your loved ones," the singer advised.
"Go to a high end fully secured, semi-crowded hotel where someone will hear altercations."
She insisted that ladies should never ignore their intuitions.
Kimani added that she is done trying to educate and beg abusive men to stop killing women.
She said women should instead prepare and be always ready whenever such men come at them.
"There are always signs, God has given us intuition... do not ignore," she said.
"Abusive men are not going anywhere! They are here to stay as long as there is good and evil in this world. Check history, read stats, and look at what is happening locally and globally. Be vigilant."
Victoria Kimani urged women to also take self-defence classes and learn to walk away from abusive relationships.
She noted that it is time women operated fully in their power.
"I know too many women who make excuses for their abusive partners and accept the punching bag position because "they are being loyal, he's having a hard time, he is stressed," she said.
"Abusers/killers are present and the law is complacent... it's time to fully operate in your power."
The most recent cases of femicide, such as the brutal murder of Starlet Wahu Mwangi, the dismemberment of Rita Waeni, and the tragic death of Malkia, have been of great concern to all.
Organisers of the countrywide march said their murders are not isolated incidents but symptoms of a broader issue that needs to be addressed.
Wahu and Waeni's bodies were found in houses that are rented out as Airbnbs.
