The G10, is a strong national women’s movement in Kenya that is driven by the vision of a society where women wield political power. its mission seeks to connect women voices and actions to leverage an expanded and redefined political space is frustrated by the feuds, turns and twists of the coalition govt and particularly the lack of political leadership by the President and the Prime Minister.
In order to save their beloved country from the impending paralysis and the G10 has mobilised Kenyan women to taken action by 1. Delivering for signature, performance contracts to the President and Prime minister outlining women’s expectations as a result of this absence of political leadership.
And 2
(This is no laughing matter) I quote
ii) “Indeed extra-ordinary situations call extra-ordinary measures and the G10 calls upon the women of Kenya to go on a sex boycott protesting the poor and woolly leadership and to also demand that the two principals take control and lead this country to its desired destiny-. Such sex boycott to take place with effect from today and to continue for the next seven days. “
The Sex boycott has generated a lot of comments from the Kenyan public and beyond. Some people see it as women using sex to blackmail men into action, while others think that as far as women’s human rights are concerned, the private is political so the call for action is not only appropriate, it should even be extended beyond seven days. What do you think?
