Initiative for Equality and Non-Discrimination (INEND)

Founded in 2015, the Initiative for Equality and Non-Discrimination (INEND) is an LGBT rights organisation operating in the Coastal Region of Kenya. It uses training, advocacy, research and strategic communication to work with groups that are seen as perpetrators and instigators of violence and discrimination against LGBT people, such as transport service providers, police, religious leaders and healthcare professionals, and members of the county assembly. It also provides advocacy and leadership trainings for lesbian, bisexual and transgender women leaders, towards ensuring no one is left behind.
