The central problem to be examined by the proposed project is how heterosexuality constructs women's disempowerment and how heterosexual masculinities' role in femicide in Kenya is erased from the media and justice system. Research QuestionsThe study will use a two-pronged approach to answer the following questions: 1) What is the prevalence of femicide in Kenya? 2) How does the media and the justice system diminish the perceived threat of femicide?3) What are men's perspectives of women's attempted empowerment and the attendant change in masculine norms? Research ObjectivesDetermine the prevalence and risk factors of femicide victimisation and perpetration in Kenya. Examine the media portrayal of IPF in the context of heterosexual romantic love and passion narratives.Examine whether femicide-related court and police documents reflect dominant social norms about appropriate female behaviour.Examine male femicide perpetrators conceptualisation of women's empowerment within heterosexuality.MethodologyTo collect and analyse data, a mixed-methods approach is preferred because it can combine an in-depth examination with numerical dimensions, Sampling, data collection and analysis(a) Sampling will involve the mortuaries and the study respondents. Multi-stage cluster sampling, preferred for gathering primary data from a geographically dispersed population, will be used to get a national representative sample. Clustering by region will come first, followed by ethnicity within the region, and finally random sampling of morgues. Ethnic clustering will be helpful to highlight any differences in femicide prevalence and risk factors. Both private and public morgues in urban and rural areas would be considered equally. Purposive sampling will be used to select key informants, while convenience sampling will be used with perpetrators because they are a hard-to-reach population. (b) To generate quantitative data, a retrospective mortuary-based study of female homicide victims aged 12 years and above that occurred between January 2011 and December 2021 will be conducted. Document analysis involving media, police and court records, death registers and autopsy reports will be used to generate both quantitative and qualitative data. Ethnographic qualitative interviews with duty bearers in the media/ judiciary/police departments and femicide perpetrators will be conducted. (c) Quantitative data will be analysed using inferential and descriptive statistics. For example, incident rate ratio (IRR) will be used to measure the prevalence of femicide. Further, parametric and non-parametric tests such as Mann-Kendal trend test will measure the risk factors. Qualitative data will use discourse analysis (DA), useful in analysing gender relations and social control. It can also demonstrate how inequalities contributing to femicide are produced, rendered factual, justified, and sustained

拟议项目将审查的中心问题是，异性恋如何造成妇女被剥夺权力，以及异性恋男性在肯尼亚杀害妇女中的作用如何从媒体和司法系统中被抹去。研究报告将采用双管齐下的方法回答以下问题：1）肯尼亚杀害妇女的普遍程度如何？2)媒体和司法系统如何减少杀害妇女的威胁？3)男子如何看待妇女试图获得权力以及随之而来的男性规范的变化？研究目标确定肯尼亚杀害妇女行为的发生率和风险因素。在异性恋浪漫爱情和激情叙事的背景下检查IPF的媒体描绘。检查与女性杀戮有关的法院和警察文件是否反映了有关适当女性行为的主导社会规范。检查男性女性杀戮肇事者对异性恋中女性赋权的概念化。方法为了收集和分析数据，首选混合方法方法，因为它可以将联合收割机与数字维度结合起来，抽样、数据收集和分析（a）抽样将涉及停尸房和研究答复者。多阶段整群抽样是从地理上分散的人口中收集原始数据的首选方法，将用于获得具有全国代表性的样本。首先是按区域进行聚类，其次是区域内的种族，最后是对停尸房进行随机抽样。族裔聚集将有助于突出杀害妇女流行率和风险因素方面的任何差异。城市和农村地区的私人和公共停尸房都将得到平等考虑。将采用有目的的抽样来选择关键的举报人，而对犯罪者则采用方便抽样，因为他们是难以接触到的人群。(b)为了生成定量数据，将对2011年1月至2021年12月期间发生的12岁及以上女性凶杀案受害者进行回顾性尸检研究。将利用涉及媒体、警察和法院记录、死亡登记册和尸检报告的文件分析来生成定量和定性数据。将对媒体/司法/警察部门的责任人和杀害妇女行为人进行人种学定性访谈。(c)定量数据将使用推理和描述性统计进行分析。例如，将使用事件率比率来衡量杀害妇女的发生率。此外，参数和非参数检验（如Mann-Kendal趋势检验）将测量风险因素。定性数据将使用话语分析，有助于分析性别关系和社会控制。它还可以说明导致杀害妇女的不平等现象是如何产生的，如何成为事实，如何被证明是合理的，以及如何持续下去
