Kenya : quand les femmes prennent le guidon à Nairobi
They are lawyers, scientists or civil servants, but they all share the same passion: motorcycles.
The Inked Sisterhood, this community of female motorcyclists, was created in 2017 to challenge stereotypes and show that motorcycling isn't just a male pastime. Every weekend, on the roads of Nairobi, the same scenes are repeated to the astonishment of passersby: women in leathers and helmets, riding motorcycles through the city. The group has transformed into a true community, founded on solidarity, mutual support, and safety.
Some women get pregnant, others don't want to ride for a while, so they stop and then come back. That's why we keep a register, explains Lucy Monyenye, a lawyer and motorcyclist.
For these women, stereotypes remain one of the main obstacles. Motorcycles are a symbol of independence and a means of escape after weeks of work. Some even see them as a tool for emancipation. Originally a simple network to connect women, then a minority on the roads, the Inked Sisterhood has gained popularity and now commands respect.
Beyond motorcycling, the Inked Sisterhood also organizes charitable activities, tree-planting campaigns, and commemorative rides, linking their passion to a broader social impact.
