But today, instead of heading alone to the roadside market, she joins 20 other women in the community hall. Together, they plan how to deliver crates of fresh vegetables to a supermarket chain. A year ago, she earned barely enough to get by. Today, she’s part of a women’s collective, a WEE Collective, that has doubled her income, connected her to new markets, and given her a voice in local leadership. Such stories cement women […] - [Kenya’s Leadership Crisis: Why Political Parties Must Be Open to Women in Politics](https://crawntrust.org/kenyas-leadership-crisis-why-political-parties-must-open-for-women-in-politics/): Are women in politics locked out before the political race even begins? Imagine a woman in her 30s. She’s not famous. She’s not rich. But she’s trusted. She’s led community savings groups, mobilized disaster relief, taught hundreds of children, and knows her county’s struggles inside and out. When she walks into her political party office to seek nomination, she finds silence. Closed doors. Or worse dismissive laughter. This is no isolated story. Political parties in Kenya are the official gateways to leadership. Yet for many women, that gateway is guarded by silence, power, and exclusion. Despite constitutional promises, the path […] - [How Women, Youth And PWDs are Shaping Future of Climate Change in Kenya](https://crawntrust.org/how-women-youth-and-pwds-are-shaping-kenyas-climate-future/): When you think about climate change in Kenya heroes, your mind probably often drifts to scientists, politicians, or international summits. But what if the most transformative solutions were taking root in a Nairobi backyard or a reclaimed coastal mangrove?

That’s exactly what the Green Champions for Change project revealed and it is changing how we understand power, resilience, and what real climate action looks like in Kenya. Why Climate Change in Kenya Justice Must Be Ground-Up Kenya faces a complex climate future according to […] - [Empowering Resilience: SSY Farmers in Kwale Lead the Way](https://crawntrust.org/empowering-resilience-ssy-farmers-in-kwale-lead-the-way/): In the heart of Kwale County, the Sikiliza Sauti Yetu (SSY) project is sowing the seeds of climate resilience through a powerful grassroots approach.

While the statistics paint a sobering picture of wage gaps, unpaid care work, and limited access to resources, they often overshadow the lived experiences of economic inequality among women and girls. Systemic economic injustice is not merely a numbers game but a reality deeply entrenched in cultural, political, and social structures that limit women’s potential to thrive. Through our work in Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE), we are actively dismantling these barriers and creating pathways to equality and justice. The Roots of Systemic Economic Injustice […] - [Championing Gender Justice: Intersectional Feminism in Climate Action](https://crawntrust.org/championing-gender-justice-intersectional-feminism-in-climate-action/): Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, impacting communities worldwide.

These floods, exacerbated by factors like climate change and poor urban planning, pose significant risks to all genders, with women and girls facing particular vulnerabilities and challenges. One of the most immediate impacts of floods is displacement. Families are forced to evacuate their homes, seeking refuge in temporary shelters or with relatives.
