1/2. FIDA-Kenya has been working within Kenyan tea farms, documenting unfortunate cases of sexual exploitation against vulnerable women. The recent developments nullifying the election of Mr John Chebochok (who is free due to the lack of formal complaints) #EndSexualExploitation

2/2.. underscores the importance of our collective efforts. We believe that with the support of KTDALtd, Ministry of Agriculture & Livestock Development , and all stakeholders in the Kenyan tea industry, we can implement effective mechanisms and policies to address sexual exploitation. #KTDAResponsibility

FIDA-Kenya is currently co-hosting the Women's Breakfast at the #LSKAnnualConference in Diani, Kwale County.

FIDA-Kenya is well represented by senior members, members, and current and past board members at the #LSKConference. The Chief Guest is Martha Karua SC

"Gender matters are expandable. Political parties have a role to play in enabling the 2/3 gender rule. They must have the goodwill and push for the full implementation of the two 2/3 rule." Hon. Martha Karua SC #LSKAnnualConference2024

"There seems to be no political will to implement the 2/3 Gender Rule. So let us join women in pushing for the implementation of this rule. Let us be present in pushing for the NADCO report.." Hon. SC. Kalonzo Musyoka #LSKAnnualConference2024

Fast-tracking the #TwoThirdsGenderRule: This is the topic of discussion at today's #FreedomCafe Speakers include: Stefan Schott Judie Kaberia Queenter Mbori from Association of Media Women in Kenya Mustapha Dumbuya from Voice for Women and Girls' Rights-🇰🇪 Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) Dr. Nancy Booker from AKU Graduate School of Media and Communications WakiliWambeti from FIDA-Kenya

"The legislation to ensure equitable gender representation in Kenya remains unpassed. Today's event is more than just a discussion, it's a call to action. Let us reflect, share and expand our understanding of this critical issue." Judie Kaberia #FreedomCafe #TwoThirdsGenderRule

“As we discuss the #TwoThirdsGenderRule, we are reminded of the significant progress that has been made but challenges remain. The Kenyan judiciary has repeatedly declared Parliament unconstitutional for failing to implement this rule.” Stefan Schott #FreedomCafe

“Women are underrepresented in the media yet the media’s role involves informing perceptions about identity, self worth and capability. If media is not showcasing women, what does that tell you? The media needs to do better.” Mustapha Dumbuya #TwoThirdsGenderRule #FreedomCafe

“As we advocate for more representation of women, our aim is not just to increase numbers but to ensure that all genders are adequately represented in decision-making positions.” Queenter Mbori #FreedomCafe #TwoThirdsGenderRule

“Studies such as ‘The State of Women in the Media’ by AKU Graduate School of Media and Communications shed light on the intricate dynamics of representation. Newsrooms can use such research data to foster fair and inclusive coverage.” Dr. Nancy Booker #FreedomCafe #TwoThirdsGenderRule

"As we wait for implementation of the #TwoThirdsGenderRule we should support women aspirants by giving them access to media spaces and campaign financing; speak to Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV); and fix our political parties." WakiliWambeti #FreedomCafe

We are grateful to our speakers of the day for their notable insights on how different stakeholders can contribute to fast-tracking of the #TwoThirdsGenderRule #FreedomCafe
