The 2010 Constitution is one of the most progressive national charters in the world. It gives citizens, individuals and communities a wide range of rights protections, while putting handcuffs on many a State official and agency to prevent overreach and abuse.

Crucially, the Judiciary interprets laws and the Executive implements them. In Kenya, both the Judiciary and the Executive are failing the people on women’s rights.
