Who we are
Samburu Gender Watch (SGW) is an advocacy organization that exists to coordinate collective action among women’s rights and gender equality stakeholders for the attainment of gender equality and equity in Samburu County.
What we believe in:
We believe that transforming gender and power relations, and the structures, norms and values that reinforce them, is critical to ending poverty and challenging inequality.
SGW believes that gender inequality and the marginalisation of the needs, roles and potential of women and girls are key factors limiting advances in sustainable development outcomes for all.
We further believe that women taking control and taking collective action are the key drivers of sustained improvements in women’s rights, SGW works with all regardless of education, social status, gender and political affiliations and are a powerful force to sustainable development not only for women and girls, but for all. SGW’s strength is hinged on the diversity of expertise and experience of her membership and allies working jointly towards a society free of gender discrimination.
