Elected women leaders should do more to address violence against women or quit, Kilimani Mums, that organized the #MyDressMyChoice demonstration, has said.
The demonstration is ongoing at Freedom Corner in Central Park, Nairobi.
The remark concerns the stripping of a woman by alleged Embassava Sacco matatu touts for being indecently dressed

I am glad women are speaking up against this barbarism.
its not OK anywhere
Both men and women who were standing and watching as it happened are guilty
If some women who was there started screaming and grabbing the victim
from her tormentors the stripping would have stopped
If some men had intervened and ordered it stopped, it would have stopped
I once saw a more dangerous situation where a thieve had been caught and was about to
be killed BUT one man stood up and said the thieve was not going to be killed and thats what happened
This #MyDressMyChoice type activism is rubbish it should be replaced
with a campaign that tells women (and men) exactly what to do if they witness a stripping
in progress i.e DONT JUST WATCH THEN GO SHOUTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
DO SOMETHING (non-violent (scream)) RIGHT THERE AND THEN
next.....
