"Men make better leaders than women!" This motion of a group work was vividly discussed during Kesho Kenya leadership training for our secondary students. Many girls booed but only a few showed the confidence to contradict. "A lot needs to be done to change this way of thinking but also girl's behaviour", says Kesho Kenya Youth Development Officer Lilian Mbula. "Girls cannot be expected to be considered leaders when they are shy, quiet or giggle instead of having a stand for themselves whilst being despised."

Participants' creativity is challenged: How to construct a house with a peace of box and a pencil that stands on its own?
