Huge Step Towards Equality for Kenyan Women

 

    Women holding positions in politics is not normative in Kenya. In 2010, Kenya's constitution guaranteed women a third of the seats in Parliament, but the male-centered parliament has sabotaged efforts to enact the legislation. This had resulted in the matters being taken up to the High court to give the Parliament 60 days to ensure that this legislation goes right with the third of women being in Parliament.
