Students vying for leadership positions in colleges and universities in Kenya face several challenges, with women often experiencing additional barriers. One major challenge is financial constraints. Campaigning for student leadership positions may require resources for posters, meetings, and mobilizing supporters, which many students cannot easily afford. This can disadvantage capable candidates who lack financial support.
For women, gender stereotypes and cultural attitudes remain significant obstacles. In some cases, leadership is still viewed as a role better suited for men, making it harder for female candidates to gain equal support from their peers. Women may also face discrimination, negative comments, or doubts about their ability to lead effectively.
Other challenges are intimidation and harassment during campaigns. Female candidates experience online bullying, character attacks, or personal criticism that discourages them from participating in leadership contests. Balancing academic work with the demands of campaigning is also difficult for many students.
Limited mentorship and support networks for young women in leadership further contribute to the problem. Without role models or guidance, many female students lack the confidence to run for positions. To address these challenges, Inuamama Mjane held a training session to increasing awareness on gender equality and leadership opportunities to encouraging more women to participate in student governance and contribute to positive change within higher learning.

Fighting sexual and gender based violence doesn't start when you see people fighting, it starts with you. How do you speak to other people? Do you speak up when your rights or the rights of other people are violated? Do you join people who fight against FGM or SGBV?

When we bring our efforts together, we achieve equality and a violence free world.
