I note with appreciation that the overall goal of the policy is to achieve gender equality by creating a just society where women, men, boys and girls have equal access to opportunities in the political, economic, cultural and social spheres of life. The policy currently before the House builds on the National Policy on Gender and Development 2000, which provided a legitimate point of reference for addressing gender inequalities at all levels of Government and by all stakeholders. It provided an avenue for gender mainstreaming across all sectors in order to generate a vision and equitable development outcomes. The foundation of the current policy takes cognisance of the need to change the male-dominated social order in Kenya supported by statutory, religious and customary laws and practices. There is also the call for gender equality and women's empowerment by administrative and procedural mechanisms. This change should not just be cosmetic, but far- reaching and genuine. It should involve access to opportunities for girls' rights from early childhood education, right to political and other levels of leadership. This policy aims at achieving equality of opportunity and outcomes with respect to assets and control of national and county resources and services, an equality of treatment that meets the specific and distinct needs of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
