Data released by the Judiciary on Friday indicates that women dominate the filing of cases involving employment, land, divorce, commercial disputes, and other civil disputes.
On the flip side, men are notorious for crime, with data revealing that they dominate traffic offenses, bribery cases, and anti-corruption cases.
According to the data, 64 per cent of those who filed civil cases before the magistrate’s court were women. However, fewer women, 12 per cent, filed cases before the High Court.
Interestingly, in the Employment and Labour Relations Court, at least 50 per cent of the litigants were women.
They also constitute 47 per cent of persons who sought justice before the Environment and Lands Court.
Meanwhile, 98 per cent of traffic offences before the courts involved men. Men also dominated robbery cases, with 96 per cent of the cases involving men.
Data launched by Chief Justice Martha Koome also revealed that 77 per cent of those in court over corruption are male.
