#EndFemicideKE · Dada Collective Network
We Are
Human Beings.
1,069 Kenyan women documented killed since 2016. Zero classified as femicide in law. Dada Collective Network is building the infrastructure that makes this impossible to ignore.
“She waited 14 months for her case to reach court. She retold her story nine times to strangers. At the end, the file was lost.”
A composite of survivor accounts documented by the Silencing Women Project. Name and details withheld for safety.
This is not a failure story. It is a system story. Kenya's GBV response forces every survivor to navigate up to 11 separate institutions alone, retelling her account from the beginning at every step. Most cases die at the handoffs, not at the decisions. Dada Salama is the connective tissue that has never existed.

A movement forged by loss, driven by data.

Penal Code Bill
The Penal Code (Amendment) Bill 2026 reaches Parliament — the first time femicide has a legal definition on the table in Kenya's history.
Now
We Build
Dada Collective Network launches the digital infrastructure that makes every death impossible to ignore, every institution impossible to hide behind.
Built with and for
Say Their Names.
8 women are killed in Kenya every week. The law does not name their deaths. Dada exists to change both of those facts.
