In the Kenyan cultural fabric, women are revered as homemakers whose decisions define the future of their family’s future as a successful, progressive, and closely-knit loving unit. Historically, women’s success is judged not by their achievement in the public realm but by the relationships they forge in the personal realm.
A survey report released in 2023 by IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) and Chief reported a higher representation of women in junior professional or specialist roles in Kenya at 41 percent compared to the global average of 40 percent. However, the number of women at the executive level stood at 11 percent, and 10 percent at the board level.
