Bungoma County Gender Policy 2022

Abstract

Following many years of struggle, debates and advocacy at international, regional and national levels, the importance of and the need to promote gender equality – both as a human rights principle and a development imperative – are now well-recognized international norms. And while many nations have committed themselves to the goal of promoting gender equality in compliance with various international instruments, treaties and protocols, and notwithstanding considerable strides that have been made towards achieving this goal, gender inequalities and injustices remain pervasive at all levels of society around the world,especially in developing countries such as Kenya.
