Study Notes
Kenyan Women's Political Participation
- Kenya's 2010 Constitution aimed to enhance gender equality through reforms addressing gender principles, quotas, and decentralization.
- Decentralization created new leadership opportunities for women in the 47 devolved units.
- The 2013 and 2017 elections saw the highest number of women in Kenyan history in both executive and legislative branches, yet the one-third gender requirement was often not met by institutions.
Challenges to Gender Equality
- Societal norms, financial limitations, party structures, and gender-based violence hinder women's political participation.
- These factors have remained largely unchanged despite reforms.
- A country's political "goodwill" influences women's inclusion.
- Political party dynamics impacting women's candidacy need critical examination.
- State and stakeholders must strengthen implementation of gender equality policies.
History of Women's Inclusion
- Women have played vital roles in Kenyan politics since colonial times, but faced significant patriarchal resistance.
- Colonial governments sometimes used women for political gain.
- The 1992 National Women's Convention was a key step forward for increased women's political participation.
- Efforts to advance gender quotas by women legislators, like Phoebe Asiyo and Beth Mugo, faced obstacles from a lack of political commitment.
Constitutional Framework
- Article 27(3) of the 2010 Constitution guarantees equality and non-discrimination.
- Articles 27(8) and 81(b) set a two-thirds gender limit on government positions (elective and appointive).
- The one-third gender rule was designed to counter historical gender exclusion in politics.
- The gender representation principle differs from a quota system.
- Key elections (2013, 2017) saw some increase, yet the one-third target was often missed.
- Appointed positions exhibited lower compliance.
- Compliance in county legislatures was often higher.
Structural Barriers
- Societal Norms: Patriarchal norms limit women's political positions; women are not seen as leaders. Customs and expectations often favor men.
- Financial Capability: Lack of funds hinders women's participation in campaigns. Women often have less access to campaign finance. Access to land ownership is also a challenge.
- Political Party Structures: Parties are often organized based on ethnicity rather than ideology, hindering women's advancement. Access to party resources is often limited.
- Gendered Violence: Violence against women affects their ability to participate.
International Agreements
- Kenya has signed agreements promoting women's rights, including the 1995 Beijing Conference and the 2030 UN SDGs.
- Despite these commitments, Kenya's performance on women's political representation lags behind in the region.
- Kenya's ranking in the Global Gender Inequality Index highlights that inequality persists.
