Prioritise women’s wellbeing to drive economic growthMany of us are familiar with the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (SDGs), which work towards giving children a beautiful, healthy and prosperous world in which to live. It has noted variously that women are the backbone of the family and the gatekeepers of family health. They have a strong influence over family health not just for their children, but for generations to come. The programme targets 69 countries worldwide where poverty is rampant, in an effort to improve the situation of women and girls and further push the economic development agenda. Kenya’s women and girls can improve their full potential only if they get the support they deserve.
