Who: Save the children Sweden What: The Day of the African Child When: 16 June 2008 Let Children Make Africa a Better Place Adults Benefit from Children Being More Involved in Decision-making All Africans win when children are given a chance to express their views and take action together with adults, says Save the Children Sweden on the occasion of the Day of the African Child commemorated every year on the 16th of June. When actively involved in decision-making, African children are making positive changes in their schools, families, and communities.

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. |
