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.
