I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of general topical concern, namely; the imperative need to uphold and advance the rights and status of women in Kenya, particularly as we prepare to celebrate the International Women's Day on Friday, 8th March, 2024. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we approach International Women's Day, I rise to honour the indelible contributions of Kenyan women to our nation's advancement. From the bustling market places to corporate boardrooms and the fertile farmlands, women remain the bedrock of Kenya's social and economic fabric. The Two-Thirds Gender Rule remains a pivotal call to action in our journey towards gender parity in leadership. However, it is imperative to acknowledge the existing gap between this constitutional ideal and its tangible realization. Despite commendable progress, Kenya still grapples with the complete implementation of this fundamental principle. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on this occasion, let us reaffirm our commitment to- (1) Actively promoting and supporting women's participation across all echelons of governance, dismantling systemic barriers impeding their candidacy and success; (2) Celebrating the diversity of Kenyan women, embracing the multifaceted identities of women from diverse ethnicities, backgrounds, and walks of life is paramount. Let us champion their distinctive voices and perspectives, fostering a more inclusive society. (3) Investing in girls' education is pivotal to laying the groundwork for a more equitable future. By nurturing their potential, we fortify Kenya's resilience and prosperity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, together let us translate the Two-Thirds Gender Rule from a mere aspiration into a vibrant reality within the Kenyan Senate. On International Women's Day, we celebrate the achievements and potential of women around the world. However, we must also acknowledge the tragic reality that many women face violence, including the most extreme form - femicide. Let us not forget the countless lives lost and the families forever impacted by this injustice. Today, we commit to building a world where women can live free from fear and violence, and where femicide becomes a relic of the past. Mr. Speaker, Sir, together we can raise awareness, advocate for change, invest in creating a future where every woman is safe and valued. May this International Women's Day serve as a catalyst for renewed dedication to constructing a Kenya where women can thrive and contribute their talents towards shaping a brighter tomorrow for all. I thank you."

I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a Statement on a matter of general topical concern celebrating the achievements and contributions of women from all walks of life, with a special focus on the women leaders in the Kenya Women Senators (KEWOSA), on occasion of the International Day of Women. This is to highlight the resilience, leadership and achievements of these remarkable women in their efforts in promoting gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. Mr. Speaker, Sir, throughout history, Kenyan women have surmounted a plethora of challenges that have tested their strength, resolve, and unity. Today, we not only celebrate their past and present victories, but also address the ongoing and emerging challenges they face in our society."
