Hooray to the Kenyan women runners who are refusing to back down! So many people applaud women for "being strong" when those women are using their strength to take care of others. When women want to use their strength to take care of themselves, or when they dare ask care in return, to the selfish those women then become perceives ad "a problem." This is a problem the world over. Hooray to Kenyan women for ushering in change. Godspeed!!!

Tirop's Angels and other bodies that enable women to speak up should be funded and allow women to speak up and leave these sort of relationships. Kenya is becoming a hotbed of men that manipulate and use women for their money or with the promise of assisting the women with a job or income. Women have rights and the justice system should enforce these rights. Its unfortunate her murderer was granted bail. I hope the family and loved ones get the justice that is deserved.

    Sad story, a life taken because of a jealous man - and he’s not being held accountable to the highest extent as he should. I am a little confused as to what the company is supposed to do for domestic violent victims. Even as women in America, if a woman is getting beat at home, the company doesn’t step in (from my knowledge). If anything, the men from family, church, close social groups should have put hands and feet on that man for taking advantage of his wife.

Just had it come across my recommended page. This is my first time hearing about Agnes's story. Absolutely hurt hearing her friends and family talk about losing her. Feels like losing your own distant sister. A beautiful and talented woman's life unfairly cut short due to entitled jealousy smh. It should not be the portion of any woman. May Agnes's legacy live on. Eternal champion. 💛 Love to Damaris and all other victims as well. May the system change and wishing all the continued success of the impact of Tirop's Angels.

    As a Nigerian and full blooded African, my heart is completely broken at this documentary. It hurts me even more when I heard the dad saying " the family wants the case in court closed, since it has taken up to 2 years and they have run out of resources." Seriously? So Kenyan government, Adidas, and of course, Agnes Angels left the family to fund the case or what? With all the athletes involved in Agnes Angels, I would have expected they make individual donations, and or also open a fund me accounts to raise funds for the prosecution of Ibrahim, the suspect. The parents lamenting the suspect uses the victim's money to sponsor a possible manipulation of the court proceedings bleeds my innermost soul.😭😭😭 What's ADIDAS doing about it? If Adidas did not notice her ordeal while still alive and of course, couldn't help her, what are they doing now that it is obvious she has been ultimately victimized? Can't adidas invest enough conspicuous interest to ensure the full justice is served to the monstrous Ibrahim? Certainly, the innocent poor Agness Jejet Tirop may not get the justice she deserves.😭😭😭😭 What a horrible world! 😭😭😭😭

    I am so sorry that this incredible talented woman died. However, like many victims of domestic violence (the UK included), these relationships are complicated emotionally. Don't forget that a friend of Agnes' husband "persuaded" her to leave the camp to return to her matrimonial home. Who could have stopped her from returning?? Should she have been forcibly detained by her Manager? The police and social services in the UK could not prevent a lot of such abuse and this is in the so called Western enlightened Country! The steps that the Kenyan female athletes are taking to empower women in their community, are the only real productive outcome in this documentary.
