"The main reason that prevents some women from becoming independent before marriage is religion where they believe that they can never make it without the support of men.”

"Culture prevents women from becoming as independent as their brothers. They are worried about people’s perception of them staying by themselves.”

Rita Umurungi, SFB Student.

"Things have changed these days. Several women don’t care about what people will say but rather, focus on how to improve their quality of life.”

Patrick Sharita, Remera Resident.

"The background of someone matters a lot. If your family can’t support your idea of independence, it will always be hard for you to decide whether to move out with or without their support.”
