Kenyan women protest at equality bill
About two-thousand Muslim women have
staged a demonstration in the Kenyan city of
Mombasa to protest at a proposed equality bill
now before the Kenyan parliament.
The women, clad in black, took over the
streets after Friday prayers in a march
organised by an influential group of local
Muslim clerics.
The protestors said they were against the
government's equality bill which aims to bring
greater equality for women and to outlaw
sexual discrimination in the country.
One protestor Mariam Mohammed said that the
place of the women in the Koran was not
negotiable -- it was clear that women must
submit to men, and this should not be changed.
