The Plight of Women in Kenyan Slums 

According to data from the African Development Bank and the World Bank, Nairobi’s Kibera slum is one of Africa’s largest urban slums. Spanning less than 1% of the city’s area, it is home to an estimated 600,000 to 1.2 million people, accounting for roughly a quarter of Nairobi’s population. The unemployment rate here exceeds 50%.
