The British High Commissioner to Kenya, Jane Marriott, marked International Women’s Day by meetings survivors of Gender-Based Violence. To mark the day, the High Commissioner took part in a series of events and visited projects supported by the UK which are promoting gender equality in the region and across Kenya. Marriott, the British High Commissioner to Kenya, said it was a privilege to meet different groups of women who have chosen to challenge the status quo by speaking up against violence and promoting peace in their communities. “The UK is honoured to support and recognise inspirational women like Sadia Hussein, who has campaigned tirelessly against FGM, or Dorothy Mutuku, for her amazing work promoting intercommunal relations with the police," she said. She will hear about the impact of women’s leadership when meeting with the station’s OCS, Victoria Mutuku.
