17th May 2023 – Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, Interphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), We celebrate the diversity within our families and communities.
The theme, “Together always: united in diversity,” could not be more fitting,At a time when the LGBTQ+ community faces unprecedented challenges in Kenya and across the world, it is more important than ever to stand together in solidarity.
Together With other Organisations, We celebrate and recognise the progress made to advance LGBTQ+ and other human rights in Kenya as we acknowledge the significant work that remains. The struggle for equality and human rights is long, but we are not alone. We invite everyone to join us towards centering inclusivity and respect for diversity in all that we do.
