Stop raping us. End the rape culture in Kenya now – Tuko Talks | Tuko TV


“She was raped because her dress was too short,
Why was she drinking? She was throwing herself at men. That was her boyfriend, how could he rape her? There is no way a man can be raped by a woman? You should feel good when a woman throws herself at you, University students should be taught manners, she died in the line of duty”
Those are some…

  1. This is hinting me so hard coz 2weeks ago I have been battling with depression coz I invited a formal friend of mine .that we once together in the same company ..it was 3years since we met again since I had stopped working in that company so I invited him to my house and we went to have someone drinks as we chat up so I took my two cans of tusker cider and I said I'm good to go time was not on our side so we went to my house and this fake friend of mine insisted to me to have the last glass alcohol and I went to the loo and when I came back 😢😢 this guy had put drugs in my drink and I didn't know so I drank without knowing …the next thing I remember I found myself bleeding and feeling paining in my private parts and I wouldn't move ..I had not had sex before but that how this guy raped me ..I'm still in a dilemma and self hatred and accepting what happened is really driving me to think of suicide .!!I'm still not sure if this guy used even protection or not I hate that day .

  2. its so sad a country with lots of women reps.. like a women representatives yet our gals and women have no pads, our gals and women are sexually harassed now and then everyday.!!

  3. I wish too thank you for sharing your stories and experiences with me
    I thank God for people like you who are strong enough to stand up for the victims and for their fight for justice

    Please don’t stop your wonderful work you are doing

    Because we are all children of God
    We all deserve to be safe in our family our community and our country/ nation
    Please take care of each other

  4. Thank you Lynn for this great conversation.
    Gender roles and responsibilities that we being socialized from a young age needs to change, when our mothers are teaching their girls to be good ,wives ,mothers and society members in the future, are our young boys and men being prepared to be upright good members of the society or good husbands and such?
    Look at our African-Kenyan saying "proverbs" eg 'Mwanamke ni tabia " then what about the men, the society from young age accepts that men do not need to be of good morals ,that its tolerated its acceptable but for women "mwanamke ni tabia" . for all of us mothers raising young sons lets us go an extra mile and bring up men who will be responsible morally upright men.

  5. Our mysogynistic and patriachal society has enabled rape culture. Our men are raised to feel like they are untouchable and superior humans. That is why in South Africa, i think it is in soweto where women created their own justice system. They find a man that has raped or sexually assulted a woman, they kill them. And all these men and women blaming victims, please explain how a baby can be viewed as sexual object? Rapists are egotistical people (whether man or woman). Rapists like to feel powerfull by subduing their victim. Rapists are psychopaths with no empathy or remorse. The culture of victim blaming and suffering in silence is rampant in Africa. Rape may have been highlighted and exposed in Kenya and South Africa, however, it is all over Africa. Many other countries may be good at hiding it and covering up. I'm Ugandan and i will tell you, do not be fooled by the fact that we have Ssengas and openly get taught about sex. That sex education is mostly directly to females. I've not seen men being taught about sex. Many women, girls and boys stay quiet because they are scared of being blamed. Many live with their abusers who turn out to be their close uncles and aunts or even siblings who are highly regarded in the family. So even if they speak up, the are silenced and dismissed.

  6. Hi Tuko and all the fans including me. The discussion was good but not worth it reason being as far as have watched different discussions on the based issues of rape, pay gag etc. All these those who talk about it only keep pointing the problems and we put less focus on what we should do, how to get permanent solution on this issues driven by cultural/masculinity. For example, "A man knows he should provide and a woman knows a man should provide sometimes incase a man looses a job, a woman still working and still a man has to provide! thats is a culture. when pressure is put on a joblessman to provide by a woman who is still working then something bad happens, then to avoid this Men/women should be entitled to be providers of the family not men are the providers. Women be like my money is my money a mans money is our money)
    Am not shaming avictim but like our male on the panel, he was raped by the house help and still kept talking about male perpetrators instead of discusing how this should be avoided and what parents should do and what children should do incase they get lured and raped by a house help.
    Yes I know they pointed out what should be done in some areas but much energy should be put on solving problems.

  7. Stop leaving your children with relatives! Stop leaving your children with domestic workers! Stop telling your children not to speak against adults. Stop allowing house help to wash your children. Stop letting your kids share beds with relatives. 1:3 girls and 1:4 boys will get molested/raped in their lifetime. Also churches are not the answer!! Get your kids to professional counselors when they get abused

  8. I am Polish, never even been to Kenya and I don't know much about Kenyan culture or Kenyan problems. I am sharing it in my facebook, as I think this talk is relevant for all the nations, all the cultures, all the people in the world. Everyone should listen to that. Thank you guys.

  9. I was scrolling down to see these comments, and I want to show you what kind of society this is. A 99.99 percent of these comments are from women and maybe a 1 percent from men. what does that show. Men where are you?

  10. I'm the discussion has begun, we should not accept gender based violence or victim blaming and shaming. That's why most of them are afraid to come out and talk about it. That applies to sexual violence against boy who most of the time are too ashamed to talk about it or are silenced by society.

  11. Very true, there's always that fear. Especially when you're walking on the road and the person behind you is a guy…it creeps me out infact sometimes I wait for them to pass so that I can walk behind them.

  12. But we should teach our girls to pay 50/50 it brings respect don't go to first dates empty pockets, and men should understand that NO is NO RAPPING A GIRL IS DEGRADING HER AND ITS WRONG

  13. I belong to a certain group on App it's supposed to be a safe space for the youths and I cannot tell you how absolutely disheartened by what men say when it comes to women. And the absolute hate and contempt I notice men feel towards women. We are called Daughters of Jezebel and the community still expects us to get married to these same men.

  14. This time LYNN NO 💔💔😓I pray we all just come into one agreement this time we dont let these things move without coming into a conclusion as a country
    😭😭it scary akiii
