INTERSEX

PROGRAMME

The intersex Programme works at national, community and international levels to advocate for and advance the health, rights and recognition of intersex persons in the country.

With a milestone in recognition through efforts of the intersex task force in the 2010 general elections, the Programme has been key in implementing priority strategies for the recognition and advancement of rights for intersex persons in health, education and within various aspects of society.

By leaving no child behind, there are conceited efforts to liberate intersex children and persons in Kenya.

TRANSGENDER

PROGRAMME

The transgender Programme operates at various levels, including international, national, sub-national, regional, and community levels.

At the international and national levels, the Programme focuses on advocacy, policy engagement, and research, while at the community level, it prioritizes service-based approaches to address economic well-being, capacity building, security response, legal aid, psychosocial support, and education.

The primary goal of the Programme is to enhance the integration and functioning of transgender individuals within mainstream society, enabling them to achieve and sustain a globally accepted standard of living.

GENDER NON-CONFORMING

PROGRAMME

The Gender Non-Conforming (GNC) Programme was established in 2020 to support individuals above the age of 18 who identify as gender non-conforming or nonbinary.

These individuals deviate from the societal expectations associated with their assigned sex, with regard to their gender identity, role, and expression.

The Programme offers tailored advocacy, activities, and interventions to address the distinct needs and difficulties faced by this community, as they navigate a gender system that is predominantly binary and characterized by rigid gender norms within society.
