Women MPs to Study Gender Inclusion, Human Rights & Governance at Canada's McGill University

Kenyan women Members of Parliament under the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) are set to begin a training course on Mainstreaming Gender Equality and Women Empowerment (GEWE).

This follows numerous consultative meetings between KEWOPA, the Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training (CPST), and Canada's McGill University's School of Continuing Studies on training opportunities for women legislators in Kenya and their counterparts in other parliaments.

Following the meetings, the Canadian University has crafted a cause for the women's legislatures that will center on gender equality and women's empowerment.

The training is expected to commence on May 5 with an intensive 11-week virtual program.
