Daughters are married in some cultures secretly too wealthy men without their consent and at times when to young. Compared to the non-handicapped girls, those with handicaps are even worse off. Many families are reluctant to spend resources on their handicapped girls, since their presence in the family is viewed with a lot of regrets. The country has had no regular primary and secondary schools for girls with handicaps. They are made to compete for places in schools for boys e.g. Thika.
Disparity exists in the enrollment ratios for boys and girls in all our institutions of learning.
The difference is worse in special education. Accepting there are more boys born with disabilities than girls, there still exists visible biases when providing services to the two groups. In order to correct this imbalance, Government must come up with legislation that recognizes the right for education for all children. Education should be declared compulsory for all children. There should also be laws to punish men who sexually abuse women and more so if the woman is disabled.
