Gender Norms Etiquette in Kenya

In Kenya, gender roles are still often fairly traditional in everyday life, with men commonly expected to take the lead in public settings and women frequently carrying more responsibility for home and family duties, though this varies a lot by region, religion, and urban or rural setting. In cities and among younger people you will see much more flexibility, but in more conservative communities it is wise to be respectful of local expectations around dress, greetings, and who speaks first in formal or family situations.
