By Paulette Mboga, May 19, 2026Media personality Amina Abdi has questioned why Kenya still does not have a femicide law despite the growing number of women being killed across the country.
She also spoke about the high cost of living, fear among families, and the uncertainty many Kenyans are facing daily on a post on Instagram on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
Amina said many people in the country are exhausted because life has become harder. She explained that rising fuel prices and the increasing cost of living have left many families struggling to survive. She also noted that parents are now living in fear because of reports of missing children.
“It’s truly heartbreaking to see what being a Kenyan living in Kenya has become,” Amina Abdi said.
She explained that many Kenyans are now dealing with fear and uncertainty every single day. According to Amina, families are worried about their safety, while others feel unheard and unprotected despite the many challenges affecting the country.
Amina also addressed the increasing cases of femicide in Kenya. She said women continue to lose their lives even after protests, marches, and nationwide calls demanding action from leaders and authorities.
Growing fear across the country
“From the rising fuel prices and the increasing cost of living, to the growing fear and uncertainty people are forced to live with every single day, many Kenyans are exhausted,” Amina Abdi said.
She explained that families are struggling to survive while parents continue worrying about their children. Amina added that reports of missing children have continued to leave many people frightened and hopeless.
“At the same time, the increasing cases of femicide continue to devastate the country,” Amina Abdi said.
Amina questioned why there is still no specific femicide law in place despite the increasing killings of women. She noted that Kenyans have already held marches and protests, while many people across the country have continued demanding action.
“Women keep losing their lives, yet despite the marches, protests, and nationwide calls for action, there is still no specific femicide law in place,” Amina Abdi said.
She maintained that the country cannot continue on the same path while citizens feel unsafe in their own homes and communities. Amina said there is a need for change as many Kenyans continue facing difficult conditions daily.
“Something has to change. Kenyans cannot continue living in fear while feeling unheard and unprotected in their own country,” Amina Abdi said.
