Indigenous women in Kenya face a number of challenges including lack of education and economic opportunities, according to an indigenous activist.

Agnes Leina is the Executive Director of a non-governmental organization called Il’laramatak Community Concerns based in Nairobi, Kenya, which is working with various indigenous communities.
