Sonja Wölte analyzes how women’s movements in Kenya act at the local and the national levels. Central to the feminist-oriented study is the reference to universal human rights as well as the international treaty on women’s and human rights. The study details the long journey from the formation of international conventions, to their ratification by the Kenyan government, and in particular to their implementation in the national laws and the implementation in local and daily lives. Those Kenyan women’s movements examined here are marked in particular by their struggles at the legal level as well as their execution of educational political seminars and explanatory efforts at the community level.
