Kenya has taken remarkable strides in championing gender equality and eradicating discrimination, with the Constitution in Article 27 explicitly prohibiting bias on the grounds of sex. However, the absence of a precise constitutional definition of gender has ignited legal and societal discourse, stirring debates on whether to embrace a more inclusive interpretation, one that acknowledges and affirms the existence of intersex persons. The lack of clear gender designation highlights the systemic challenges intersex individuals face, including difficulties in obtaining essential documents.[2] Over the years, Kenyan courts have delivered progressive judgments, such as the Baby A,[3] and the RM case which have pushed for the recognition and protection of intersex individuals.[4]
