The Women in Alternative Dispute Resolution (WADR)-Kenya organisation has urged citizens to embrace dialogue and mediation as the preferred methods of resolving disputes, warning that the continued reliance on adversarial approaches is undermining national unity and economic stability.
Speaking during a media briefing in Nairobi, WADR Chairperson Eunice Lumallas noted that Kenya stands at a critical point where political, social, and economic tensions must be addressed through constructive, inclusive, and sustainable means.
She added that a cultural mindset shift is urgently needed to avert deeper conflict and societal fragmentation.
Lumallas maintained that WADR, which brings together over 200 trained professionals from various fields, is advocating for the mainstreaming of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a nationally accepted practice.
