Two Kenyan women have been stranded in India since April due to inadequate detention facilities in the Asian nation. Detention centres in India are created to accommodate refugees in the country after they post bail in court. However, this order was also opposed by the central government which remarked that the area in question did not have facilities to accommodate women. The two women are facing this dilemma despite the Indian government ordering the creation of a detention centre for women in September 2022. Currently, the two are being held at the Sakhi One Stop Centre which also lacks enough facilities to accommodate the Kenyan woman.
