What an incredible few days of community, connection, learning and movement-building!

We are proud to have supported the just-concluded African Intersex Movement (AIM) Conference, bringing together intersex leaders, activists, allies, partners and changemakers from across Africa and beyond. We are grateful to everyone who contributed their voices, knowledge, stories and solidarity to this important gathering.

Together, we are strengthening an intersex movement that is rooted in community, rising in power and determined to shape systems that recognise, protect and celebrate intersex people.

Thank you for being part of the movement.

We are not just talking about visibility, but also livelihoods here at the

Economic empowerment for intersex people means:
-The right to work without discrimination.
-The right to play and be paid to play.
-The right to own businesses, lead teams, and thrive.

When intersex persons can earn, we can live free from violence and dependency.

Including young people and students in conversations on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response is critical to breaking cycles of abuse, shifting cultural paradigms, and building safer communities.

That’s why we were glad to join the University of Nairobi Education Students Association (UNESA) on Saturday, 26th September, at Kenya Science Campus for their Anti-GBV Awareness Event under the theme “Empowering Voices.”
We were happy to support this student-led initiative, and to see students engage openly with conversations around GBV, inclusion, and safer communities.

Thank you, UNESA, for creating space for these important conversations and for putting students at the heart of the work.

Jinsiangu, and UNDP, convened an important multi-stakeholder meeting bringing together intersex people and parents, medical professionals, the Kenya Medical Association (KMA), Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), the Paediatric and Gynaecological Society of Kenya, and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR).

The conversation focused on strengthening collaboration and working towards national medical guidelines for the care and support of intersex people in Kenya.

We were joined by Dr. Madura Joshi, Secretary General of the Paediatric and Gynaecological Society of Kenya, alongside other key stakeholders. Throughout the meeting, advocacy and the meaningful inclusion of intersex voices remained central to the conversation. Participants also explored ways of strengthening documentation and responsible data-sharing within the health system to support follow-up and improve access to care for intersex people.

This is an important step towards a healthcare system that is informed by evidence, guided by human rights, and responsive to the lived experiences of intersex people.

We had the opportunity to showcase and distribute our Menstrual Pad -InclusiFit at Jamhuri Primary School during a soccer event hosted by Over 30 FC.

The event brought together sport and community in a space where we could also talk about the importance of making menstrual health more accessible, inclusive, and responsive to diverse bodies and experiences.

We are grateful to Over 30 FC for creating a space where we could connect with the community, share InclusiFit, and contribute to a day of sport, connection, and learning.
