Since then, Kenya has established the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner whose mandate is to enforce data protection rights and principles as envisioned in the DPA. Despite this, there exists a gap in awareness and understanding of existing safeguards for data subjects and more so women under the law and privacy features on social media platforms.
