Hello Women!
The annual women's summit returns in 2022. This year we are addressing some of the challenges facing kenyan women and the progress made to tackle them.
The current legal systems are inadequate in ensuring the African woman's complete protection and socio-economic protection.
Women are in constant fear of experiencing gender-based violence and sexual harassment but often do.
These outdated practices include child marriage, wife inheritance, female genital mutilation, and patriarchal systems that uphold the subjugation of women.
Women in Africa remain excluded from economic access to economic capital such as employment with an even higher disparity when compared to women in rural areas.
Gender inequality was ingrained by the patriarchal ordering of society, under which political, economic, legal, and social standards are either set by or fixed in the interests of men.
