The International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) – Kenya Chapter is a non-profit and non-partisan organization comprising women judges and magistrates from across Kenya. Our mission is to promote human rights and gender justice while fostering a judiciary that is accessible and responsive to the needs of all people, particularly the vulnerable. We are committed to social transformation through the development of quality jurisprudence and judicial empowerment, ensuring that the rule of law is applied with compassion and integrity.

Guided by our vision of "Social Transformation through Access to Justice," our work includes strategic initiatives such as the Collective Empowerment Network (CEN), which focuses on mentorship and leadership development for women in the judiciary. We strive to break down barriers to justice by addressing systemic challenges like gender-based violence and human trafficking, leveraging our collective voice to influence national policymaking and ensure equal rights for every Kenyan.

Our commitment extends beyond the courtroom as we actively engage in grassroots outreach and collaborative partnerships to strengthen the legal framework for all. By championing the values of judicial excellence, independence, and accountability, we ensure that women’s voices are heard at every level of the decision-making process. Through continuous professional development and the sharing of best practices, the Chapter remains a steadfast beacon of hope, working tirelessly to build a society where the promise of the Constitution is a lived reality for all individuals, regardless of their gender or social standing.
