Intersex rights in Kenya

Intersex rights in Kenya
Protection of physical integrity and bodily autonomyNo
Protection from discriminationNo
Access to identification documentsYes

Intersex people in Kenya face significant human rights violations, starting from birth. There are few protections from mutilation and non-consensual cosmetic medical interventions and no legislative protection from discrimination. Intersex persons may have difficulties in obtaining birth certificates and others forms of documentation.

In February 2025, Kenya officially acknowledged intersex individuals within its birth registration process. The Births and Deaths Registration Act was revised to include intersex as a category in official records.[1][2]
