Gender Justice Programme

Despite ratifying international, regional, and national frameworks, achieving gender equality in Kenya has remained elusive for over 30 years since the girl-child became a prominent focus of the global development agenda. Women and girls facing adversity are especially disadvantaged. For this reason, the Gender Justice Programme aims to build a society where both men and women enjoy equal rights and opportunities across all sectors, including meaningful participation and decision-making, using a
human rights-based approach.

Programme goal: To contribute to a society where both men and women enjoy equal rights and opportunities across all sectors, including meaningful participation in governance and decision- making.

1. Intersecting issues of gender norms, gender inequality, and gender-based violence in Kenya.
