Advocacy for Gender Equality in Sports Leadership

Despite these advancements, challenges persist regarding gender representation in sports leadership. Studies have identified cultural, social, and economic factors contributing to the underrepresentation of women in sports administration. Efforts are ongoing to address these issues and promote a more inclusive environment. The Kenyan government's Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) demonstrates a commitment to addressing barriers faced by women in sports leadership. The establishment of a high-level expert taskforce on sports aims to identify funding sources and opportunities for female athletes, further promoting gender equality in the athletics sector. ​ These developments reflect a broader movement towards inclusivity and representation of women in Kenyan sports, both in leadership positions and athletic achievements.
