  • “Grammar of Patriarchy”: Women and Elections in Kenya
    Humania del Sur. Año 15, Nº 28. Enero-Junio, 2020. Maina wa Mũtonya “Grammar of Patriarchy”: Women and Elections in Kenya... pp. 95-108. “Grammar of Patriarchy”: Women and Elections in Kenya Maina wa Mũtonya Pwani University Kilifi - Kenya [email protected] Debate Abstract Th e Kenyan general elections of 2017 registered a marked improvement from the 2013 elections in the number of women elected to serve in diff erent capacities. Th e elections saw the fi rst ever women governors and senators emerge victorious from positions that were previously held by men only in 2013. Th is paper attempts to understand the grammar of patriarchy that stands in the way of women participation and engagement with elections. Drawing examples from recent events, the research argues that cultural traditions and the attendant stereotypes as well as the media perpetuate the patriarchal discourse that will have an overall eff ect on participation of women in politics. Keywords: Women, elections, patriarchy, Kenyan media, sexism. “Gramática del patriarcado”: Mujeres y elecciones en Kenia Resumen Las elecciones generales de Kenia de 2017 registraron una notable mejoría en el número de mujeres elegidas con respecto a las elecciones de 2013. Las elecciones vieron a las primeras gobernadoras y senadoras salir victoriosas solo en 2013. Este documento intenta comprender la gramática del patriarcado que se interpone en el camino de la participación y el compromiso de las mujeres con las elecciones. Tomando ejemplos de eventos recientes, la investigación argumenta que las tradiciones culturales y los estereotipos acompañantes, así como los medios de comunicación, perpetúan el discurso patriarcal que tendrá un efecto general en la participación de las mujeres en la política.

COMMENTARY: About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000. The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier. By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians. The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga , the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya , heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama 's father. Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election.
