The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) joined the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) at the “Chapa Gumzo na Prosecutor” community dialogue at AIC Riruta, Nairobi.
The forum brought justice institutions closer to residents to strengthen public awareness, accountability and meaningful participation in the justice process.
A NEW DIVISION
The Commission set out its mandate to promote gender equality and freedom from discrimination. It also introduced its Male Engagement Division, which seeks to enlist men and boys as partners in advancing gender equality and building an inclusive Kenya.
PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE
The Commission holds that partnerships of this kind turn equality, non-discrimination and access to justice from constitutional principles into lived realities for all.
It has committed to inclusive, community-centred engagement and to a Kenya where everyone can participate, access justice and enjoy equal protection of the law.
