CRJ Mokaya engages with Kenya Chapter of the International Association of Women Judges

In her continuing engagement with internal stakeholders, Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Winfridah Mokaya held a meeting with officials of the Kenya Chapter of the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) this morning, with their discussions centred on strengthening the operations of the Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Courts, a brainchild of IAWJ.

IAWJ has been instrumental in pushing for speedy resolution of SGBV cases, training of Judges, Judicial officers and other actors in the justice chain to foster a culture of trauma-sensitive trials with Hon. Mokaya advocating for de-briefing sessions for judicial officers who handle the cases.

The Chief Registrar commended IAWJ for being innovative, well-structured and spearheading a mentorship programme which she pledged to fully support to advance the Association’s objectives.

The Association has also been actively involved in the development of the Judiciary Gender Mainstreaming and Sexual Harassment Policies and remains committed to aligning the Policies to the institution’s strategic blueprint.
