As part of the Africa Data Hub project, "Silencing Women" is a living database on women killed by their partners or family members in Kenya. Drawing from court records and media reports, the database analyzes over 930 female murders, 628 of which meet the UNODC’s definition of femicide, to uncover fresh insights into patterns of violence against women. Spanning case judgments issued between 2016 and 2024. It provides a detailed perspective on how these murders occur and the progress—or lack thereof—of justice in addressing them.
