DARK VALENTINE’S: JANET MBUGUA TO HONOUR FEMICIDE VICTIMS

Renowned journalist and activist Janet Mbugua is set to lead a vigil on Valentine’s Day to honour victims of femicide.

In a lengthy post, Janet emphasised that the aim of Dark Valentine’s is to preserve the memory of those who were brutally killed. “It might be Valentine’s Day week, but there’s a darkness that hovers. This is because many who we should be celebrating love with, are instead being grieved. So this week, here is how we will keep the memory of our sisters who have been brutally killed.”

The vigil is scheduled for Wednesday, February 14th, at the University of Nairobi Main Campus from 4 PM to 7 PM. Its purpose is to exert pressure on the Parliament and County Assemblies, to act on demands of delivered petition. 

“Ahead of the national vigil, if you are able to, please send some items to support those who will be participating. Items include: candles, water, flowers, handkerchiefs. Send them to Shem Plaza, Lusaka Rd, 5th floor. Contact 0740616551 for more information,” she added.
