The Standard Group has partnered with Kibra Riders and Owners Association (KRO) for a campaign launch dubbed "mapenzi si mauti,' meant to mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

This comes after a new report released by UN Women revealed that, on average, more than five women or girls were killed every hour by someone in their own family. The report, which was done last year showed that of all the women and girls intentionally killed last year, some 56 per cent were killed by intimate partners or other family members.
