Women leaders have called for action on gender rule, online violence, campaign financing and democratic participation.
The MPs outlined an ambitious agenda aimed at strengthening women's political leadership and increasing female representation ahead of the 2027 General Election, identifying political participation, protection from violence, economic empowerment and democratic governance as key priorities.
Meeting in Nairobi under the auspices of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) and the Women Political Leaders (WPL) Kenya Cohort, the legislators said sustained collaboration and targeted interventions will be critical in overcoming barriers that continue to limit women's participation in politics.
