Preliminary report of a study commissioned by African Woman and Child Feature Service as part of the Sixteen Days of Activism against Gender Violence, November 25- December 10, 2004
A snapshot of Kenyan Newspapers’ coverage of violence against women December 10, 2005 to October 2006
A group of women journalists have come together, facilitated by the Swedish and Norwegian envoys in Kenya, and launched an initiative called 'Healing the Nation'.
The GGP was developed by different stakeholders comprising women leaders and women centred civil society organisations and supported by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and development partners such as the Swedish International Development Agency, the Royal Netherlands Embassy, the Royal Norwegian Embassy and DFID.
The Coalition on Violence against Women – Kenya (COVAW) is greatly disappointed and saddened by the extremely low female representation in the Grand Coalition Government. During the election campaign period both Parties, that is, Party for National Unity (PNU) and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) made several promises and declarations that they would ensure that women would receive at least one third representation in all their appointments. To date this has not been honored. His Excellency the president Hon. President Mwai Kibaki is on record on need for observance of the principle of gender equality in government employment having directed that 30 per cent of all appointments, recruitment, promotions and training be reserved for women. To date this has not been honored.
Like all our compatriots, we (the Kenya Editors Guild) are concerned by the crisis facing our country. The genesis of this national tragedy is within public knowledge.
