NCCK lauded for enhancing gender inclusion
Kwale County Police Commandant Stephen Ngetich has praised the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) for enhancing gender inclusion in the country.
Speaking during a courtesy call by a delegation from the NCCK, Ngetich said the Council is doing a tremendous job through the Wadada wa Pawa programme to empower women, adding that the county security apparatus would continue supporting the programme.
“We have supported, and will continue supporting the Wadada Wa Pawa project. We provided security to women aspirants before, during, and after the 2022 elections, and we’re working round the clock to ensure all women are safe,” said Ngetich.
The County police boss appealed to NCCK to initiate engagements with young girls on issues of Gender Based Violence while incorporating the boy child in the gender discourse.
NCCK has partnered with the UN Women to implement the Wadada wa Pawa project across the country. The project is seeking to enhance the participation of women of all ages in politics and decision making.
