We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of 22-year-old Connie Githinji ,a student at the Muranga University whose life was cut short under disturbing and unclear circumstances at an Airbnb in Kilimani.
As BHESP, we strongly condemn this incident and any form of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). No disagreement, no moment of conflict, and no circumstance ever justifies violence against women. Every woman and girl deserves to feel safe whether in public or private spaces.
This case raises serious concerns and highlights the urgent need for accountability, thorough investigations, and justice. We call upon the relevant authorities to ensure that the truth is established and that those responsible are held fully accountable.
We are also deeply concerned by reports linking the suspect to previous allegations. This underscores the importance of taking all reports of violence seriously and strengthening systems that protect women from repeat offenders.
At BHESP, we continue to stand with all women and girls, especially those in vulnerable situations, advocating for their safety, dignity, and rights. We urge communities to remain vigilant, to speak up, and to support survivors of violence.
Let us not normalize violence. Let us not stay silent.
