Land reforms in Kenya over the past decade provide for women’s land rights, yet women have not benefited from these reforms. The constitutional provisions promoting gender equity and equality have not been implemented.
There is critical need for the implementation of land reform provisions that support gender affirmative action in terms of land and resources. From 2013-2017, the Government of Kenya issued 3.2 million titles, yet women received only 10% of these titles, amounting to only 1.62% of the land, thus shining a light on the gender disparities in land reforms. Clearly, the role of women and the imperatives of gender actualization have been belittled in favor of men.
You are invited to join the webinar on the Gender Imperatives of Land Reforms in Kenya(link is external) on 23 April, from 3 PM to 4:30 PM EAT (2 PM CET / 8 AM ET) to discuss these issues.
