Anti-LGBTQ protesters

Anti-LGBTQ protesters and activists demonstrate on the streets of Nairobi on October 6, 2023 after the Supreme Court of Kenya upheld the rights of the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NGLHRC) to register and formally be recognised as an organisation.

What you need to know:

  • On September 13, the Supreme Court ruled that the registration of bodies advocating for same sexuality is not illegal.
  • Justice William Ouko and Mohamed Ibrahim dissented, saying they could not support registrations championing for what is against the law.



Religious leaders on Friday called for the review of the Supreme Court judgement which allowed the registration of the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NGLHR)

The group is also calling for the resignation of three Supreme Court Judges who delivered a ruling allowing the registration of same sex groups, saying their act goes against the constitutions and the traditional values of Kenyan communities.
