This Week Diana is joined by Suzanne Silantoi, a public policy analyst & a graduate from University of York with a Master of Arts in Public Administration and Public Policy. Suzanne was the youngest Nairobi senatorial candidate in 2017 at the age of 23.
Women everywhere are breaking the glass ceiling in politics but their voices still go unheard and their contributions are too often sidelined. In many places women are still seen as incapable of taking on responsibility in what are perceived as male-oriented areas, such as finance, energy, economic development, climate change, foreign affairs, defense, trade and infrastructure. This is often the case in parliaments where women are given ‘women’s only’ portfolios or only allowed to sit in women committees and are being pushed away from the other committees because of their gender.
We ask, what was your experience as a young woman in politics and what lessons have you learnt in this maiden political journey
