One activist, Mwikali Mueni, told the Associated Press, “It is very sad that I was injured while championing for women not to be injured or killed. If the president is serious about ending femicide, let him start by taking action on the officers who have brutalised us today."

According to a 2020 report by the World Health Organization, an estimated 47 women are killed each week in Kenya, one of the highest rates of femicide in the continent.

Hundreds of Kenyan women marched on Tuesday to peacefully protest the high rate of gender-based violence in the country, chanting "stop killing women" and "teach your sons." Police fired tear gas at the protestors and arrested at least three of them, Reuters reports.

Tamara Costa's fetus was missing its skull. Its heart and liver were outside its body and missing its lower extremities. It would not survive, risking the mother's life. Tamara needed an abortion. Alabama's answer: We don't care. Go to 580 miles to Chicago. Via @themeteor Full

@jawnita reports on the exclusive story here:

When 24-year-old Tamara learned that her fetus would not survive through childbirth, and that the pregnancy would threaten her life if left untreated, she was given no guidance—only a sticky note with a phone number to a Planned Parenthood nearly 600 miles away.

What Tamara her husband Caleb went through was the result of an extreme abortion ban—plus an atmosphere that advocates say is terrifying doctors and “utterly isolating” women (Robin Marty, @alabama_west). The latest in United States of Abortion, w/Firebrand, @OBs4RJ @PopCollab.

"Her Life Was at Risk. Alabama Didn't Care"

Tamara Costa had a partial molar pregnancy: Her fetus was missing its skull; her own health was at risk. She needed an abortion. Instead, she says, the attitude was, “Baby’s not going to make it…and neither are you.” @jawnita reports from Alabama: https://t.co/ayWyKXM0tL

On Monday, former model Stacey Williams told her story of being groped by Donald Trump—adding to the dozens of women who’ve accused the former president of sexual misconduct or assault. (Trump has denied the allegations.) Now, she’s speaking up about why she shared her story:

A new report found that the investigation into Brett Kavanaugh’s allegations was severely limited. Despite Trump saying he had authorized the FBI to run an independent investigation, a report produced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) found that—surprise—that was not the case.

Today marks one year since October 7th, 2023, when over 1,000 Israeli citizens were killed. In the year since, according to @Oxfam, more women and children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza than in any conflict over the past two decades.⁠
