To every woman who has chosen to believe in herself, to stand up, to stand out, and to pursue leadership this message is for you.When a woman decides that she can lead, that she can contest for a political seat, that she can make decisions and create change, what does she often find waiting for her?Insults. Abuse. Bullying. Disrespect. Cyberbullying. Attacks on her private life.And we must ask ourselves: Why?Are women not supposed to run for political seats?Are women not supposed to become leaders?Are women not supposed to fight for their dreams?Are women not supposed to stand out and believe in themselves?Why should a woman be insulted simply because she believes she can lead?Politics should never be a space where women are punished for being ambitious. It should never be a space where a woman's private life is used as a weapon against her.Leadership should be judged by ideas, character, ability, service, and visionโ€”not by whether someone is a man or a woman.We are living in the 21st century, not in the old days when society believed that leadership belonged only to men.Today, women are doctors, engineers, business leaders, pilots, politicians, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and presidents. Women are succeeding in spaces that society once claimed belonged exclusively to men.So why should politics be different?To every young woman watching from the sidelines and wondering whether she belongs: YOU BELONG.You do not need permission to lead.You do not need approval to dream.You do not need to shrink yourself to make others comfortable.If you believe you can lead, stand up and lead.As women, we must also learn to support one another. We cannot demand respect from society while tearing each other down. We must protect, encourage, mentor, and uplift women who dare to step forward.No woman should be disrespected because she wants to become a leader.No woman should be bullied because she enters a space traditionally dominated by men.No woman should be attacked simply because she chooses to make a difference.We are not asking for special treatment.We are asking for fairness. Respect. Equality. And the freedom to lead.To every woman who is being insulted because she stood out: Do not give up.To every woman being cyberbullied because she dared to contest: Do not be silenced.To every woman who believes she can change her community: Keep going.Because every time a woman rises, she makes it easier for another young girl to believe that she, too, can rise.Women can lead. Women can govern. Women can change society.And no amount of insults, bullying, or disrespect should ever make us forget that. A woman who believes in herself is already powerful. A woman who refuses to be silenced is unstoppable.#womensupportingwomen #WomenInLeadership #WomenInPolitics #WomenInLeadership #MamiMwega ... See MoreSee Less

Some have increased their stock, diversified their products, employed staff and adopted digital marketing and payment platforms. Others have joined SACCOs, accessed loans and set savings targets to support business expansion.The training has also changed how women manage their finances. One woman said, โ€œI learnt to keep personal money from business money.โ€ Others are using records to track sales, identify fast moving products and prepare budgets.For Eunice Radiro, who runs a boutique, the training led to changes in both her products and customer engagement: โ€œ๐ผ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘ . ๐ผ๐‘›๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐ผ ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘›๐‘”. ๐ผ'๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘›๐‘ก ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘“๐‘ฆ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐ผ โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’ ๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘‘๐‘ข๐‘๐‘ก๐‘  ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘ž๐‘ข๐‘’. ๐ผ ๐‘ค๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘ ๐‘œ ๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘”โ„Ž๐‘ก โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ค ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘œ๐‘๐‘’๐‘› ๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘›๐‘ข๐‘š๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘œ๐‘š๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘–๐‘š๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘ โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘–๐‘š๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐ผ'๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘›๐‘ก ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘ ๐‘˜๐‘’๐‘’๐‘๐‘–๐‘›๐‘”.โ€Women are also using business plans to set targets for expanding their businesses, increasing M-Pesa float, building business structures and acquiring additional equipment. The evaluation identified limited access to capital, stiff competition and slow business growth as challenges that still affect their businesses.The progress is clear. Women are planning, saving, keeping records, managing their finances and making decisions with greater confidence. The next step is to ensure that these efforts are matched with access to capital, markets and continued support. ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐š๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ?#Womeninpoliticske #WomenEconomicEmpowerment ...
