Homosexuality is "largely considered to be taboo and repugnant to cultural values and morality" of Kenya, and the state punishes same-sex sexual acts as crimes. Despite this, various organisations are working to protect and improve LGBT rights.

Famous quotes containing the word rights:

    We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.
    Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
