The renewed calls come in the wake of alarming cases of gender-based violence, including the tragic shooting of businessman Henry Katanga and the recent death of former Olympian Rebecca Chepetgei, who was attacked by her boyfriend in Kenya.
Members of Parliament have reignited discussions on the long-shelved Marriage and Divorce Bill, which was last debated in 2017.
"We cannot continue to rely on a law from 1904. Every time the bill comes to Parliament, it gets shelved, but now both men and women seem to agree that gender-based violence is a real and growing problem," Ms Kanushu said. It seeks to uphold constitutional guarantees concerning marriage, integrate international best practices, and address issues such as property rights, consortium, and marital disputes.
This rebranding aimed to present the bill in a more positive light and to streamline the legislative process by addressing stakeholders' concerns.
