What is it about?
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy to end women’s exclusion and further gender equality by using general policies and laws. The Government of Kenya has made strides in realizing gender equality with the adoption of different general and gender-specific policies and laws. The reality is, however, that gender equality is far from being achieved across the country. With a focus on land conflicts, this article seeks to examine gender policies and law frameworks that intend to enhance women’s participation in resolution of land conflicts; what has been achieved and which are the gaps in terms of making these legal frameworks a reality. The study concludes that empirical studies on the impact of gender policies and laws that aim to enhance women’s participation in resolution of land conflicts are lacking across the country calling therefore for more research that seeks to evaluate the impact of the policies and laws on the ground.
