Feature Story Summary
“Kwa Nini Sikuondoka Mapema?” is a compelling radio feature that examines the complex realities behind Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and challenges the common question often directed at survivors: “Why didn’t she leave earlier?”
Through the testimony of a survivor, expert insights, and public perspectives, the feature highlights the emotional, psychological, social, and economic barriers that prevent many victims from leaving abusive relationships. It explores how fear, financial dependence, trauma, and lack of support can trap survivors in cycles of violence, while emphasizing the importance of community support, early intervention, and accessible assistance services.
The story calls for greater understanding of survivors’ experiences and shifts the conversation from blame to protection, asking not why victims stayed, but how society can help them leave safely and rebuild their lives.
Produced and voiced by Frederick Oseko, a Media and Communication student at Moi University currently attached to the Eldoret Media Hub.
