LGBTIQ+ human rights to be incorporated in the constitution to curb violence of LGBTIQ+ community in Kenya

Abstract

LGBTIQ+ human rights are frequently neglected by Kenyan laws. This paper seeks to explore laws in the Kenyan Constitution concerning LGBTIQ+ rights as well as the consequences suffered for not abiding by the law. The research paper will also explore real-life case studies of discrimination against LGBTIQ+ persons either in public, health facilities, schools, government offices, etc. Reasons that are currently hindering legislative committees in Kenya from not enacting laws that are LGBTIQ+ protective will also be discussed. The research paper explores LGBTIQ+ rights internationally to have a global understanding of human rights. Kenya has ratified international laws that will be discussed about the LGBTIQ+ community. National laws in Kenya that support international laws will also feature in this research paper.
