Kenneth’s work focuses on advancing the rights and well-being of LGBTQI+ persons in rural and marginalised contexts. He was recognised among the Top 10 Global Human Rights Defenders at the Dublin Arts and Human Rights Festival in 2023.
He would be very much interested in an exchange on Gender, Peace and Security from feminist and queer perspectives, including reflections on advocacy strategies, possible funding opportunities, and connections to the queer East African and Kenyan diaspora.
