GENERAL ELECTION - 2007

With the elections of December 2007 in Kenya women have been the worst hit in this general elections be it parliamentary or civic elections. Most women have been battered by the male counterparts as if the world belongs to men dominance only.

Mother and Child Mission Centre Kenya has foreseen this as the worst Gender based violence against women as a whole leave alone the family squamishes which occurs on daily basis. With just some few weeks to come to the general elections women have gone further in this election to elect their own and to foresee that gender based issues in the parliamentary assemblies are passed.

Most of the women who have the empowerment have gone ahead to assist other weak candidates who are viewing for the same positions as men to see them through young women and youth have to forge ahead and say even women can be leaders of this country and especially the most dominated areas by men since the independence of this country Kenya.

What can the communities do right now is to elect leaders not gender, be it women or men Mother and Child Mission Centre Kenya is looking on issues where by women have been critisized that they cannot be leaders while a leader cannot be just a man in this world.

We should focus our minds to our women candidates for the first time and overlook our men if they can be trusted really for the last years since independence other communities have never seen nor had a female candidate. The worst lesson should be let men vote for women and be counted as real men and let women vote for their fellow women and be counted as courageous women not to vote for men due to their masculinity but for their empathy and virtures of good leadership not through tribal lines nor through their background, but through self aspiration and determination that they too can lead this nation to the extreme of good governance and more so through better future for all women and the children of this country.

Let their be fair election for all women -
