“Any woman who joins politics is a prostitute” – BBC Africa

Although it may seem 2022 has seen an unprecedented high number of Kenyan women vying for elective seats, data from the Electoral Commission of Kenya, the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) shows that growth is little. This is from 7% in 2017 to 11% in 2022. Sexual harassment is one of the many challenges women face. Other challenges include violence, intimidation and the costly nature of campaigns.
