abstract: 'The cut flower industry is one of Kenya''s fastest growing foreign
|
||||
|
||||
exchange earners. The industry is dominated by large-scale sophisticated
|
||||
|
||||
outfits, growing mainly flowers in greenhouses. Employer-employee
|
||||
|
||||
relations in flower plantations at times develop in the context of
|
||||
|
||||
infringement of human, social, and labour rights. Recurrent problems
|
||||
|
||||
such as exposure to toxic chemicals without appropriate protective gear
|
||||
|
||||
and employment terms are rarely addressed. Consequently, women who are
|
||||
|
||||
normally employed as unskilled workers in flower production greenhouses
|
||||
|
||||
are more vulnerable. In order to change the prevailing inequality and
|
||||
|
||||
allow equal relations in flower industry, it is necessary to understand
|
||||
|
||||
details of the current situation. The study aimed at mapping existing
|
||||
|
||||
data on gender concerns in cut flower sub-sector, with the view of
|
||||
|
||||
offering suggestions for establishment of proactive gender policies and
|
||||
|
||||
gender mainstreaming frameworks. Secondary sources of data were used to
|
||||
|
||||
gather information. A combination of library/internet search and desk
|
||||
|
||||
study was used to ensure exhaustion of access to existing data. The
|
||||
|
||||
contents of the documents accessed were analysed systematically to
|
||||
|
||||
reveal the key dimensions presented in the data. This study traced a
|
||||
|
||||
wide range of gender concerns covering four main themes; gender rights
|
||||
|
||||
and participation, gender and employment, gender and sexual harassment
|
||||
|
||||
and gender in small holder flower value chain. For the code of conduct
|
||||
|
||||
to be effective, it must be gender sensitive with a continual process of
|
||||
|
||||
awareness raising and improvement with an ultimate aim of fostering a
|
||||
|
||||
work environment where the social and economic rights of workers are
|
||||
|
||||
respected. This requires an education process of management and workers
|
||||
|
||||
on recognising that improving labour conditions through gender sensitive
|
||||
|
||||
policies and frameworks would enhance productivity and quality of work.
|
||||
|
||||
It is in the interest of all stakeholders, including the government,
|
||||
|
||||
trade unions, workers, among others, to ensure that this occurs.'
