  1. They should do a temp law that men or males can not leave their homes or jobs after 6pm unless they are accompanied by a host. HOST being volunteers that are not their family or close friend. Host should be against femecid as well. Since its men or males killing women.

  2. Glad to see Kenyan feminists supporting their trans sisters as well. Feminists and LGBT people are natural allies as we face violence and marginalization from patriarchy. We must solidarity to fight for women's rights and LGBT rights globally

    ITS SO VERY SAD TO SEE IN 2024 THAT A GOVERNMENT CAN DO THIS ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.

    MY QUESTION IS WHY IS SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 ON THE SAME CONTINTENT NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THE HELP THE KEYIAN WOMAN, AND THE SUDIANESE PEOPLE.

    YOUR NEXT PROGRAM SHOULD BE ABOUT THE ANC GOVERNMENT NEGLECT TO HELP THEIR OWN PEOPLE IN CRISIS.

    EXPOSE THE ANC GOVERNMENT FOR WHAT THEY TRULY ARE PLEASE.

    SHOW THE WORLD AND THE HAGE HOW THEY TREAT THEIR OWN PEOPLE .

Unless we start to treasure our sisters and provide them with the same justice available to males then further tragedies will continue. Al Jazeera can help by producing further videos on similar situations and what is being done to improve females existence. Why not add addresses we can petition to support work being done to stop gender-based violence?

  5. With such lies, I'm not surprised that there is anti-Semitism in the world.. The IDF fights according to international law and even helps the Palestinians.. against Hamas which is not acting according to the law.. The Palestinians should thank the IDF.. instead of being ungrateful
