Hundreds of protesters marched through Kenya's capital on Monday against the high number of killings of women and children.
At least 69 women have been killed in the east African country since January, according to data compiled by data firm Odipo Dev and media outlet Africa Uncensored.
The Kenyan government has also recorded 10,581 missing children over the past 16 months, including 1,952 abductions and 173 trafficking cases.
Dressed in white T-shirts and waving "End Femicide and Pedicide" placards, the protesters brought the centre of Nairobi to a standstill with chants and loud mournful cries, and blocked a main street with a billboard bearing the names of more than 500 victims.
