The Launch was preceded by a Walk across Kenyatta Avenue, Moi Avenue, City Hall Way, Wabera Street and back to Freedom Corner. Mr. ben Muchemi did a rally stunt along Kenyatta Avenue to the delight of many people who had gathered to watch the procession. This was a powerful message to the campaign- we must move with speed to address the issues of Rape and Gender Violence in Conflict, and at the same time, we must have the sharp rally brakes to bring the same issues to an end.

Leading the process
Managing such a process has never been easy. Some times, you must shout. And Oto had to do exactly that

It was time to dance and we had the best styles from the Supreme Court of Kenya and from the Kenya Police Force. I did not know that Justice Njoki Ndung'u and Mr. Eric Kiraithe had such nice styles...hahahah
Chief Maina Kiai called us to stand in a moment of silence in memory of all the Rape and Gender Violence Victims
