dc.description.abstractThe gender mainstreaming policy provides a framework which will accelerate the realization of gender equality, fairness between men and women, non-discrimination and fundamental rights within Kisumu County. In a more advanced manner, the policy is conceived as a tool to ensure political and social economic integration, accelerate mainstreaming of SIGs issues, increase awareness on the crucial role played by women in conflict, post conflict and consideration of peace reconstruction and reconciliation. The policy thus cultivates the requisite need for identifying means and measures to stimulate interventions focused on gender, reorientation of existing institutions to pay greater attention to gender equality. The framework lays down the obligation of Governments to act in certain ways or refrain from certain Acts in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedom of individual or groups its calls for government to establish mechanisms to promote and protect these rights. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 creates a platform for gender equality and nondiscrimination. It also provides impetus for a national policy to chart a roadmap for the attainment of the constitutional provisions. Article 10 of the Constitution is on the National Values and Principles of governance. It highlights such principles as equality, equity, inclusiveness and non-discrimination.en
