Nairobi dance parties where men are banned

A team behind a new night in Nairobi argues all-women's dance parties can create safe nightlife spaces for women.

What you need to know:

  • Security is tight and while a few men are let in, it is only to drop off the women they are accompanying.
  • Unpleasant experiences when out with friends in mixed clubs is part of the reason the two welcomed the idea of an all-women's rave.
  • Some say that although women from all faiths attend the all-women parties, they particularly suit Muslims.
