RUNNING FOR MY LIFE

One in three women in Kenya reports at least a case of abuse by the age of 18, largely from their male family members, or other males known to them. In 2021, one month after breaking the world record , world champion Agnes Tirop was found murdered in her home in Iten. Running for my life is a one woman play that follows her life journey, her pain, her joy, her talent, up until when she was murdered. This is a story about her, about me, about the women before me and a story about every victim of gender based violence and femicide in Kenya.
