Intersex persons deserve justice, they’re Kenyans too

Intersex persons are people born in-between male and female. They therefore, don’t fall purely under the categorisations of being either male or female as we know it. These are not individuals who choose to be that way. The situation affects children and parents in a very fundamental manner since stigma and discrimination is high, starting from with the challenge of how to name a child with regards to sex.

It is important to note that many intersex persons continue to suffer in silence. However, this is bound to change since for the first time in the history of Kenya and Africa, they are going to be counted in the ongoing census.
