Introduction
 
About CREAW
 
Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) is a non-governmental, non- partisan organization. Our Vision is a just and free society in which women and men exercise equal and full rights and opportunities, and our Mission is to transform the Kenyan society through the promotion and expansion of women’s human rights, rule of law and social justice.

While there has been some progress in improving opportunities for women in Kenya, inequalities remain throughout the socio-economic and political structures in the country. 

Lack of economic opportunities, lack of viable skills and a political culture that limits the role of women in public life compounds the problems faced by women not only in elective politics but in meaningful participation in decision making processes.

 There continues to be low representation of women in decision making structures of  Local governments with a UN Women report [women representation and participation in the public and private sectors in Kenya- September 2010] showing that  majority of women employees (97.7%) in local authorities are low-level staff working as sweepers in offices, markets and revenue collectors in bus-parks and markets. 

A further examination of women’s participation in elective positions will show that while the number of women MPs doubled from 9 in 1997 to 18 in 2002 and went up further to 22 seats after the 2007 general elections, only 9.6% of the civic candidates, 10.2% of parliamentary candidates and one of nine presidential candidates in the 2007 general elections were women [African Women and Child feature services- media coverage of the 2007 post election violence in Kenya http://www.awcfs.org/dmdocuments/reports/The%20Gender%20Mainstreaming%20Perspective%20Study%20-%20Draft%20Report.pdf].
