| dc.description | Female labourers in Kenya’s tea estates face sexual and gender-based violence, precarious employment and systemic inequality. Grounded in personal testimonies, this case study highlights the resilience of women navigating exploitative conditions and intergenerational poverty. Based on the women’s words, it advocates for actionable reforms, including strengthening reporting mechanisms, enhancing mental health resources, ensuring fair wages, promoting gender equity in leadership and facilitating unionization. It also calls for gender-responsive due diligence by international buyers and community-led initiatives to address stigma. | en_US |
