Annotation:
Covering the period from March 1997 to July 1998, this report on the legal
status of Kenyan women examines issues of political participation,
constitutional and law reform process including incorporation of international
law into domestic law, violence against women, freedom from torture, rights to
liberty, life, security, and security of property, and gender equality and
affirmative action. The report frequently invokes the Kenyan government's
commitments under international law and discusses the government's failure to
submit its scheduled report to the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women. The report concludes with recommendations
to enhance the status of women's human rights in Kenya.
