The Samburu Women Trust and the Indigenous Women Council last week celebrated 10 years of advancing women and girl's rights among indigenous communities.
The celebrations were in hour of the network's impactful journey of indigenous women rights and hosting of IWC, a council that promotes self-organising among women from the grassroots to the national level, while also advancing their representation and active participation in leadership spaces.
Jane Meriwas, the executive director of SWT, the brains behind the movement said had you asked her where the initiative would be 10 years ago, her response wouldn't be close to what they have been able to achieve.
According to her, working in a marginalised region and among patriarchal societies, the task ahead was huge.
