16 days of activism against gender-based violence ended on Wednesday, which was also International Human Rights Day. That horrific “initiation” gang rape in Meru reaffirmed how far we are from a society that keeps all women and girls dignified and safe. Less visible however, is how sexual violence and trauma that follows, affects Kenyan men and boys.

It is the system that has been built to serve a few that fuelled young Kenyan citizens’ anger over the past year. Will Kenya Kwanza act on Oxfam’s findings and policy lifeline or repeat last year’s crisis? The clock ticks.

The twelve-day countdown to Jamhuri Day has begun. How successful has this generation been in eliminating all forms of discrimination?

The gap between these and other neighborhoods across Kenya remains grotesquely huge. We live in the age of greed as some have argued in Davos and Dandora this week. This is the greatest challenge before President Kenyatta’s new Cabinet.
