The Initiative for Equality and Non-Discrimination (INEND) was established in 2015 in response to the need for new, expanded and diversified organizing, on issues affecting sexual and gender minorities. As the sexuality and gender diversity movement in Kenya continued to grow, it became evident that it was necessary to strategically and systematically engage with various actors in mainstream society, particularly those who were known perpetrators of violence and discrimination, as a means of reducing violations against sexual and gender minorities.  

Their objectives:

• To change public perceptions and attitudes towards sexual and gender minorities by creating awareness, and fostering dialogue;
• To create a network of allies, supporters and changemakers who ensure the protection, inclusion and participation of sexual and gender minorities, in public and private spaces.
• To engage policy makers on policy review and formulations that involve the human rights of sexual and gender minorities
