REPRESENTATION OF YOUNG WOMEN AGED 20-35 YEARS

REPRESENTATION OF YOUNG WOMEN AGED 20-35 YEARS

I have involved in personal development projects aimed at representing young women and teenage mothers in legislative and civic processes. My interest in submitting this request create awareness of existing representation gap for Kenyan women aged 20-25-35 and teenage mothers who do not 'fit as youths' for being mothers and who are looked down by older women.

These group has been sideline and are not involved in entrepreneurship or empowerment programs despite the many challenges hat they face including;

1.    Unemployment

2.    Marital Abuse

3.    Domestic Violence

4.    Sexual Violence RAPE;  date rapes, 'sex for grades', ‘sex for jobs’

The possible interventions for this group include

1.    Civic Education

2.    Economic Empowerment

3.    Capacity Building Trainings

4.    Counselling

5.    Family Planning

6.    Creation of specific employment offportunities

7.    Representation of these group

I look forward to participation in the stakeholders’ forum.
