About Us

PRDP is an indigenous women’s and girl’s network that champions the rights of women among the pastoralist communities through strengthening their capacities to influence policies, decision making processes and address harmful cultural practices that demean the dignity of women and girls in the society. The group is women driven whose key mandate is to raise not only the voice and status of indigenous women but also to spearhead local initiatives aimed at securing human rights, safety, women access to natural resources and wellbeing. Pokot and Turkana like any other indigenous peoples community in Kenya is strongly bound to its rich tradition and cultural practices. Women are the major victims of human rights violation. PRDP emerged as a result of continued conflict and displacement of women, to advocate for the rights of women to a peaceful co existence, mitigate gender based violence, climate justice, Economic, Social and cultural rights for women.
