Leshan Kereto
Executive Director,
Tareto Africa
As a fervent advocate for Human rights, I firmly believe that true equality can only be achieved when every individual, regardless of gender is empowered to live and thrive without limitations. It's not about lifting one gender over another; it's about ensuring every individual has equal freedom and opportunities. I pledge to continue to champion Gender Equality in every aspect of life, knowing that by uplifting women and promoting inclusivity, we uplift humanity as a whole. Together, let's dismantle barriers, challenge norms, and advocate for a future where Equality reigns.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
I pledge to utilise my networks and influence to promote a culture that respects the lives of women and girls. I promise to speak against all forms of harmful practices like FGM and child marriage. I promise to campaign against femicide in Kenya and also promote gender equality in all forums that I am part of.
I would like to commit stand and lead firmly against gender-based violence (GBV), especially in pastoralist and indigenous communities in Kenya. I’m committed to raising awareness, sharing accurate information, amplifying survivor voices, and running initiatives at Tareto Africa Trust that work towards justice, education, and safety for all—regardless of gender.
