Description
Women's groups in Kenya are calling for long overdue action to tackle rampant gender-based violence in the East African country after the death of a Ugandan long distance at the hands of her partner. Rebecca Cheptegei lost her fight for life in the early hours of Thursday, four days after her boyfriend poured petrol over her and set her ablaze at her home in western Kenya. "I will not call it murder, I will call it femicide," says Njeri Migwi, Founder of Usikimye, an organisation that fights gender-based violence. "If we don't act upon something, what are the repercussions when these women are killed?" IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
