The gender situation in East Africa, in general, and the Dadaab refugee camps, in particular, is not any different from what persists across Africa. Presently, and quite unsurprisingly, girls are woefully under-represented at all levels of education in the Dadaab refugee camps as well as the host communities in the Garissa and Wajir counties of Kenya. Girls have limited access to education—a situation couched in long-standing traditions and cultural practices by which girls and women are required to do the bulk of household chores and to take care of children, the elderly, and the sick. The acute dearth of transportation, security, and sanitation facilities to cater for the specific needs of girls and women in schools has also compounded the inequity. In a vicious cycle of a sort, the resultant low enrolment of girls in both primary and secondary schools has yielded only a small number of women teachers in the camps and surrounding communities. Thus, as is true of many other such social problems, the more female teachers are needed at the camps the less readily they are available!
