In as much as we want to make noise and address the femicide issue bedeviling us, we must address the root cause of the problem. In this case I believe this on matters mental health.
Our society today is flooded with people who are struggling with the issue of mental health. As a result, people have tried to find their identity attached to things that really don’t matter. The worst-case scenario is whereby the younger generation who are commonly referred to as ‘Gen Z’ have sought their identity in media based on the characters that they see online or the content that they seem to identify with. As a result, these young girls have been forced to live promiscuous lives unfortunately falling prey to men online with hidden agendas.
The same issue of mental health applies to the men who commit these heinous acts of murder. The way they execute their assignment goes a long way to illustrate that their mental space is skewed. No human in their right mental capacities can participate in such inhuman acts.
Mine is a rallying call for mental health wellness and awareness across board. If we really want to address the issue of femicide we must create awareness on the importance of mental wellness.
