haki za binadamu
English meaning: Human Rights
Swahili Definition
(Kiswahili)Haki za msingi na uhuru ambao kila binadamu anastahili bila kujali asili yake.
English Definition
The fundamental rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. Human rights in East Africa face challenges — LGBTQ+ rights are criminalized in most countries, press freedom is restricted, and democratic backsliding is a concern. However, women's political representation in Rwanda (61% female parliament — world's highest) and Kenya's constitutional gender quotas are progressive achievements.
Example
“Rwanda ina asilimia 61 ya wabunge wanawake — kiwango cha juu zaidi duniani.”
In English: “Rwanda has 61% female parliamentarians — the world's highest rate.”
