Women leaders urged the government to improve wealth creation as Kenya marked this year's International Women's Day on Saturday.
The event, held at Tom Mboya University in Homa Bay County, saw women leaders highlight poverty as a serious challenge affecting many women across the country.
The celebration, attended by First Lady Rachel Ruto, Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, and ODM leader Raila Odinga's wife, Ida Odinga, came at a time when many women face financial struggles.
Women leaders present at the event decried poverty as a significant barrier to women's development.
