Gender Empowerment

KISI advocates for gender equality and empowerment. It educates the community on how to refrain from gender violence. It has also taken the plan of creating forums of discussion within groups to try and identify causes and consequences of gender violence and social cultural discrimination. The Organization tries to foster harmonious living and equity among people in the community of different gender. 49 % of women reported experiencing violence in their lifetime

In doing so, the aim should be to reduce the inequalities between men and women (“gender gaps”) arising from institutionalized practices, as reflected in legal, business and financial systems. This goal can be reached through capacity building, re-orienting existing institutions, and a commitment to improving women’s access to productive resources and to managerial and technical training
