Members of Parliament have called for stronger accountability measures, increased funding and effective implementation of policies aimed at advancing women’s empowerment.

Legislator warn that good policies alone cannot transform the lives of women unless government institutions are held responsible for delivering results.

The lawmakers said Kenya has made significant progress in developing laws and policies that promote gender equality, but the country continues to face challenges in translating these commitments into practical benefits for millions of women.
