Nearly 1,000 people took to the streets of Nairobi on Monday to protest against a series of vicious sexual assaults on women who were attacked for wearing mini-skirts or 'immodest clothing'.
One of the attacks saw a woman surrounded by dozens of men who, tore off her clothes, beat and kicked her in the genitals.
The woman had been standing at a busy stop in Nairobi’s Central Business District, when the men attacked, later telling local media that she had been ‘tempting’ them by being ‘indecently dressed’.
Grainy videos of the attack taken on cellphones and circulated widely via Twitter and other social media.
One of the organisers of today's #MyDressMyChoice march said she was aware of ten separate attacks across Kenya.
The Nairobi attack, which happened in broad daylight on a busy street last week, sparked outrage in the cosmopolitan capital.
