Objectives

The Gender and Law in Kenya Research Seminar aims to create a collaborative platform for researchers from Kenya and Japan, spanning both legal and non-legal disciplines, to engage in constructive dialogue on gender-related legal and social issues in Kenya.

This half-day seminar seeks to:

* Facilitate Knowledge Sharing: Provide a space for participants from diverse backgrounds, including law and non-law disciplines, to exchange research findings, insights, and experiences related to gender, law, and governance in Kenya.

* Promote Critical Discussions: Encourage in-depth conversations on key gender equality challenges, legal reforms, and the implementation of gender-responsive policies.

* Foster Networking and Collaboration: Cultivate connections and potential collaborations among participants interested in gender and legal issues in Kenya.

This Seminar welcomes researchers, practitioners, policymakers, advocates, students, and anyone passionate about discussing gender, law, and customs in Kenya. The condensed program focuses on critical aspects of gender and legal frameworks in Kenya, providing opportunities for meaningful discussions and engagement. By pursuing these objectives, the Seminar aims to contribute to ongoing efforts to enhance gender equality that empower women and marginalised groups in Kenya.
