[kictanet] [Bpoteam] Day 7 of 10- BPO Discussions, Youth and Gender Issues

Sun Jun 14 21:45:27 EAT 2009

Muthoni, 

Two issues here but I think we should focus more on the first paragraph 
that you discuss so well. However, I will allow the occasional 
digression on the second issue of interpreting gender issues but that 
debate has been on in various fora and for now we know that gender 
issues in Kenya seem more inclined to women's issues though we know the 
definition includes both. For now listers delve on the questions and if 
the definitional issues come up in the course of answering them then 
that is an added bonus. 

Why the silence? Why the silence? Why the silence? We are almost there 
just 3 days left in a very successful discussion so far. Please 
write...... 

Nyaki

and Gender Issues 

Good afternoon everyone, 

Like other issues that have been discussed (Day 1 to day 6), my take is 
that we must have things right from the beginning.  A BPO-specific 
outfit (like the BPO society) should have the mandate to enforce (or at 
least lobby the law enforcers) labour laws for this young industry. 
This way, issues like the one that appeared on the Standard Newspaper 
sometime back 
(http://www.eastandard.net/sciencetech/InsidePage.php?id=1144013244
<http://www.eastandard.net/sciencetech/InsidePage.php?id=1144013244&ci> &ci)

will be unheard of.  Furthermore, some clients especially from the US 
are concerned about how the vendor he/she is giving work to treats 
employees. 

On a light note; could we begin re-thinking this whole issue of 
interpretation ‘gender issues’ to mean ‘women issues’; men are 
‘threatened too! 

Muthoni

Dear Listers, 

As per the schedule, I am pleased to hand-over the rest of the 
moderation to Nyaki who will introduce the remaining themes starting 
with the "Youth and Gender" theme today. 

Nyaki's CV is too long to fit in one email but its suffice to say that 
she belongs to this breed of Researchers that wants to bridge the gap 
between Academia and Socio-economic realities of out times.  The rest of 
her story can be googled, but remember to use her official "handle" - 
Dr. Catherine Adeya. 

Over to you Nyaki.  Plse tell us about today's theme. 

walu.
