Circling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaCircling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaFemicide in Kenya: An escalating crisisToday, a woman is killed every 18 hours in Kenya, with most reported cases being a murder committed by someone she knows, lives with and loves. Yet in Kenya, Femicide is not recognised as a crime and more often than not, perpetrators of sexual, gender based violence (SGBV) and intimate partner violence get away with their crimes, despite being known to their victims and in their communities. These statistics are grim and sadly not unique to Kenya. Femicide is an increasingly worsening issue globally. The question is, why do we remain silent? Why are we n...2025-05-091h 05Circling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaCircling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaS3 Ep11 | What are your teens and young adults learning/saying about their sexual health online?In today’s episode of Circling The Rabbit Hole Podcast, we revisit a crucial topic: Youth and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) – but with a fresh perspective.

However, there is still one aspect that is still often overlooked — men’s mental health and wellness. Society still expects men to remain stoic, despite relentless life, relationship and financial pressures. A significant stigma still persists often shaming any form of vulnerability, which pushes many men into emotional isolation, addiction, abusive tendancies and silence. This lack of acknowledgment of their struggles not only harms men but also often leads to devastating effects in their families and communities.   On this episode of Circling The Rabbit Hole, I am join...2025-01-101h 23Circling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaCircling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaLet's get uncomfortable: Addressing LGBTQI+ Sexual, Reproductive and Mental health & Rights in KenyaFor context, Kenya still criminalizes same-sex relationships under the penal code sections 162, 163 and 165. In 2023, the family protection bill introduced by MP George Kaluma attempted to penalize homosexuality further with the death penalty. This bill was however ruled against on 12.09.2023. The law as it stands leads to various violations against the human rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, including hindering their access to comprehensive SRHR and Mental health services in the country. Today, my guest Kivenzi Muange and I address the unique issues that the LGBTQ+ community in Kenya faces, specifically when it comes to SRHR, mental health wellness, intimate...2024-11-2942 minCircling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaCircling The Rabbit Hole with Dr. Claire KinuthiaSn3 Ep8 | Why are we still losing women during pregnancy and childbirth?
