The number of women going into the law profession is increasing. However, there are fewer women who are ascending into leadership in the law sector, LSK vice chairperson Faith Odhiambo has said.
She said more women need to take up positions in academia, the bar and the judiciary.
"We have the chief Justice, the deputy chief Justice and the court registrar of the judiciary being women," she said.
She said more women's dominance in the Judiciary and in Parliament is being seen but the women in law are missing.
"Our statistics at the last site were 9783 Female advocates while the active ones only were 6400," she said.
For men, we have 11,815 male advocates, while the active ones are 7420.
"275 are in lawyers academia, 155 Associates, 808,418 in House lawyers 1281 equals officers, 111 partners," she said.
"In every sphere, we find ourselves we must create unique identities in the spaces that we have," she told the women present.
She called on them to be disruptive cells in the legal mainframe.
"I urge you that we seek to be extraordinary and where you create ripples in this legal fraternity," she said.
