Summary: Minority and indigenous women in Kenya are discriminated against on multiple levels; they are targeted because of their identification with a minority or indigenous group, and as women -- both by cultural practices within their own community and because of gender discrimination more widely.

The goal of the report is to reflect the voices and experiences of women from diverse minority and indigenous communities in Kenya.
