Martha Karua from the People's Liberation Party told a Nairobi conference that Kenya needs to actually enforce safety rules for women using public transit and stop just announcing arrests without following through. She said at the Women Transport Africa Conference in Westlands that the justice system has to publicly report what happens in court cases to rebuild trust and scare off potential attackers, plus transport planners need to redesign systems around what women actually deal with every day.
Karua pointed out that current policies sound good on paper but don't mean anything if nobody enforces them in real time. She called out leaders who hide behind empty talking points instead of listening to women's actual experiences and doing something about it.
The conference ran for three days and brought together people from across Africa to talk about making transportation safer and more inclusive for everyone.
