The Hub is fully incorporated into the Gender Sector Working Group in the ministry of Gender Culture, the Arts and Heritage, a position that enhances its ability to advocate for the utilisation of gender data in Women’s Economic Empowerment programme and policy design and implementation.
The hub is engaged in the Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Women-in-Leadership consultative sector working groups, and has been actively represented at the gender sector working groups meetings, including one held at Safari Park hotel, Nairobi. The meeting was chaired by the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Gender and Affirmative Action. The working group noted that although there has been remarkable progress in promoting positive social norms, attitudes and behavior that prevent gender-based violence, a lot more still needs to be done. It was also noted that although women are represented at leadership level, a huge gap still remains. These sentiments reiterate the findings of our 10-year Gender Audit trail that revealed a steady but insignificant ascendancy of women in upper management levels.
