A study on gender equality in East Africa has found that despite being ranked among countries with the highest number of women in political leadership, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania are no different from Kenya, as real power to make decisions and deliver equity still belongs to men.
With female leaders failing to influence political decisions, the needs of women who form the majority of the population in East African remain subordinate to men.
