Kenya Women Parliamentarians Aim To Influence Gender-Responsive Legislation
KEWOPA Chairperson & Kajiado Woman Representative Leah Sankaire
The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) has initiated discussions to drive strategies aimed at influencing gender-responsive legislation in Kenya.
In collaboration with key partners including the African Women’s Development & Communication Network (FEMNET), Mzalendo Trust, and IDEA International, Women legislators today convened to exchange experiences garnered from their tenure in the 13th Parliament.
The primary objective of the meeting was to ensure that women leaders gain access to essential skills, tools, and resources necessary to realize their political ambitions.
Led by KEWOPA’s Chairperson, Leah Sankaire (Kajiado), the Parliamentarians highlighted instances of discrimination against women in committee assignments and leadership roles.
“When aiming to change the global economy, involving women is crucial as they possess a unique strength and determination to address issues more effectively than men,” noted Sankaire.
In a proactive move to claim their rightful place, the female leaders vowed to take deliberate steps to contribute significantly to various legislative proposals presented on the floor of the House. Kewopa Kenya
