Kenya's commitment to advancing gender equality and empowering women took centre stage at the 2nd Biannual National Gender Sector Working Group (GSWG) meeting held in Nairobi.
The event brought together key government officials, civil society, development partners, and stakeholders to review progress, confront challenges, and map a strategic way forward in tackling gender disparities, gender-based violence (GBV), and economic exclusion.
The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Gender, Culture, Arts and Heritage, Hanna Cheptumo, set a bold tone reaffirming the government's commitment to gender equality. "I look forward to engaging constructively as we reflect on our shared progress, challenges, and opportunities and, most importantly, as we chart the way forward with unity and purpose," implored Cheptumo.
She highlighted the Ministry's alignment with President William Ruto's 9-Point Agenda for Women and pledged to mainstream gender across all national development efforts.
