  • Estas tiktokers nigerianas desafían la misoginia y los estereotipos de género

    By Soila Kenya Verified| International Journalists Network@ Cada 10 minutos muere una mujer. No por accidentes de tránsito o al parir. Mueren asesinadas por su pareja o un familiar. Este tipo de violencia, conocida como feminicidio, ha recibido mayor atención en los últimos años debido al reconocimiento de su escalada. Es un foco de interés tan reciente que no fue hasta 2022 que ONU Mujeres, en colaboración con la ONUDD, creó un marco estadístico para medirlo.

According to the latest data from UN Women, Africa is home to the highest rate of femicide.

    By Soila Kenya Verified| jaylit.com@ Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology: Issue V narrates the current generation’s fears, hopes, and dreams, and presents them wrapped up within tales of the fantastical like banana leaves. The first Kenyan science fiction and fantasy literary journal Will This Be A Problem? has remained criminally underrated for the past 10 years of its existence.
