To further protection, inclusion, and justice for Sexual and Gender Minorities in Kenya, these are our strategic priorities:
1. Violence Prevention and Rights Protection
We foster integrated approaches that identify, enable and push back against systems and structures to address oppression and violence for Progressive and inclusive policies amongst institutions focused on addressing violence targeting Sexual and Gender Minorities.
INEND strategically engages with key stakeholders and policymakers from strategic partnerships at both county and national levels, with the mandate to ensure the rule of law and access to justice, engage on human rights accountability tools, mechanisms and processes, amplifying evidence-based initiatives to drive policy and practice changes for promotion and protection of human rights.
2. Collective Action Towards Rights Protection
To foster and accelerate sustainable change, we co-create, catalyse critical partnerships and contribute spaces and resources that grow agency for the protection of rights and fundamental freedoms through Increased social capital, and ownership.
For the First time in the 2022 Kenyan General Elections, 50 lesbians, bisexuals and queer-gender non-conforming (LBQ-GNC) were trained and accredited as elections observers in Kenya through #QueeringTheBallot project
INEND continues to implement Our Boda Boda model to target key stakeholders including opinion influencers, and civic leaders for constructive conversations on non-discrimination and equality to counter harmful mainstream narratives, change attitudes and serve as allies.
3. Knowledge Management and Leadership Development
We promote feminist approaches to knowledge management, empowerment and experiential learning for documentation, awareness, effective accountable organizing and meaningful engagement towards fostering a community of practice exchanging knowledge, learnings and innovation, towards violence prevention and rights protection of Sexual and Gender Minorities.
At INEND we believe that Capacity Building is Not an Event, it is a process.
3. Organizational Sustainability
Our overall organizational health and sustainability are necessary for effectiveness and ability to achieve our mission and goals. We ensure consistent, coherent and value-based functionality that prioritizes the well-being of #TeamINEND and the longevity and impact of our work.
