Women with disabilities persevere for political recognition and representation, confronting severe stigma and systemic barriers amid Kenya's increasingly combative and male-dominated political arena.
The treacherous landscape of Kenyan politics has long been viewed as a gladiator's arena, deeply entrenched in patriarchy and financial muscle. However, for women living with disabilities, the barriers to entry are exponentially higher, forcing them to navigate a hostile environment armed with nothing but raw resilience.
As the nation looks toward the 2027 general elections, the vulnerability of this demographic exposes the gaping flaws in Kenya's democratic architecture. Despite constitutional provisions demanding inclusion, the reality on the ground is a stark narrative of marginalization and systemic erasure.
