Despite a liberal Constitution that enshrines gender equality and women’ s empowerment, gender inequality remains a key issue of concern in Kenya. The patriarchal social order supported by statutory, religious and customary laws and practices; and the administrative and procedural mechanisms for accessing rights have continued to hamper the goal of attaining gender equality and women’s empowerment. Progressive provisions in law have not delivered gender equality in practice raising the need to address the variety of manifestations of gender discrimination and inequality.
