In my house, my son and I are outnumbered. It’s just the two of us against my wife and our two daughters. If you think that’s just my personal experience, think again. Across Kenya, the statistics tell the same story - women outnumber men.
According to DataReportal (2024), Kenya’s population stands at 55.65 million, with 50.4 per cent female and 49.6 per cent male. This means that for every 100 men, there are approximately 101 women.
