Women Empowerment: Policy Evidences from Ethiopia and Kenya

Résumé

This article has reviewed and presented women empowerment policies of Ethiopia and Kenya. It assessed the measures taken by governments to alleviate gender inequality and increase the role of women in the economic and social spheres in both countries. Therefore, different secondary data was collected from secondary sources such as books, articles, conventions, reports, policy papers, constitutions and other related legal provisions of the countries through document review. The collected data were presented using a descriptive research design. The article found that despite the measures taken in both countries, women are marginalized from economic, social and political life. This is particularly high in rural areas. Moreover, the substantive representation of women is critically questionable in both countries. Therefore, to ensure gender parity, in a substantive aspect, the governments should develop mechanisms in providing training to communities in both countries. Further, create an enabling environment to raise awareness of women in influencing the institutions in which they are represented and critically influencing public policy.
