A Journey of Courage

E-mail Print PDF

A Journey of Courage is the story of Kenyan women on the road to a political destination. Their determination to pass the rocky path and swim the murky waters into victory was clearly witnessed during the 2002 General elections. Women had to trek through valleys of uncertainty. They had to jump numerous hurdles placed in their way by cultural and political biases. They had to go through an electoral system which was virtually gender blind. They had to contend with political parties whose manifestos preached affirmative action for women but cared little for gender equality. They had to survive the violet campaign period. They had to struggle without money ad other resources to mount campaigns while at the same time competing for space and airtime in the media.

Their voices and aspirations can only be captured by documenting their experiences. Only then, can we sensibly map out strategies for the continuing struggle for women.

RIGHTS OF THE CHILD"Children who have lost their mother or both parents are society's most vulnerable members. Socially isolated because of the stigma of Aids, they are less likely to be immunised , more likely to be malnourished and illiterate, and more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation"

Unicef 1999

This booklet aims to reach media practitioners who are actively engaged in encouraging the national dialogue on topical issues that are central to Kenyans. It is our hope that this booklet will give deeper insight on the issues that affect the children beyond the statistics.

This book is produced with the aim of supporting media practitioners in the phenomenal task they face as they report economics and business for Kenya, and to encourage reportage of the part played by women in the economy. It especially aims to assist women media practitioners venturing into this challenging area by providing facts on business and economy and guidelines to successful reporting in an easy, accessible format that can be used by journalists at every level. A key aim of this publication is to reflect the wide scope of economics and the inter-linkage with almost every sphere of the life of this country as well as those outside influences that directly impact on this country.

'In the Shadow of Death'

Download In the Shadow of Death: My trauma, my experience

The book, In the Shadow of Death: My trauma, my experience is public testimony on what the majority women went though during the post-election violence that engulfed Kenya immediately after the Electoral Commission of Kenya announced the results for the hotly-contested presidential polls of the December 2007 General Election.

The crisis brought to the fore a number of factors that separate our society but for long have been ignored by successive post-independence governments: poverty, land, inequality, tribalism, among others.
