It's important that #GenderEquality is not seen as a mere goal but a necessity for a thriving tea sector in Kenya. It's high time we accelerate efforts to bridge the enormous gender pay gaps and create a fair and #EquitableIndustryForAll. #GenderEquality #KenyaTeaSector

Tea sector players need to invest in education and training programs as these play a crucial role in empowering women in the tea sector. We should invest in programs that build equal access to knowledge and skills for ALL workers. #EducationForAll #GenderEquality #KenyaTea

The pursuit of SDGs and any national/regional development agenda requires breaking of ALL stereotypes & gender equality barriers! While women can be successful tea farmers, they can also be managers, and accomplished leaders in the industry. #EqualOpportunitiesForAll #KenyaTea

At any given point, gender-based violence should have no place in the tea sector or any workplace anywhere in the word. It's our responsibility to ensure a safe and inclusive working environment for all. #KenyaTeaSector #EndGBV #SafeWorkplaces #SDG5

Kenya Employment Act 2007 calls employers to pay employees equal pay for equal value of work. But this is being flouted in the tea sector. Women make a huge portion of workforce, they should be empowered &their rights to equal pay supported. #GenderEquality #TeaSector #Kenya

Recent reports in media and research have revealed glaring gender pay gaps in Kenya's tea sector. Despite efforts to close this gap the challenge persists and needs urgent attention from ALL. It's time for equal pay for equal work! #GenderEquality #KenyaTeaSector #SDG5
