In light of today’s ruling in Petition E490 of 2025, this press release reaffirms a clear position: adolescents must not be arrested, prosecuted, or criminalized for consensual, non-coercive, and non-exploitative peer relationships.

The High Court of Kenya affirmed that adolescent sexuality is normal developmental behavior, not a criminal matter.

Today, the High Court of Kenya delivered its judgment in Petition E490 of 2025, protecting adolescents engaged in consensual, non-coercive and non-exploitative peer sexual relationships from arrests and prosecutions.

The Court:
➡️Directed investigative, prosecutorial and enforcement agencies to distinguish consensual adolescent peer relationships from exploitative or abusive conduct.
➡️Stopped the criminal proceedings against minors charged with defilement for engaging in peer sexual relations.
➡️Ordered relevant agencies in health, education, and child protection to ensure adolescents can access sexual and reproductive health information and services without fear of criminalization.

This is a major win for adolescent rights in Kenya and we continue to advocate for their protection.

Tomorrow, the High Court of Kenya is expected to deliver judgment in Petition E490 of 2025—a case challenging provisions of the Sexual Offences Act that criminalize consensual, non-coercive, and non-exploitative peer relationships among adolescents in Kenya.

This case is about drawing the line between protection and punishment, and ensuring that the law safeguards adolescents’ rights, dignity, health, and best interests.

While construction continues inside Nairobi National Park, we are fighting in court.

We have formally challenged the ongoing project through the Environment & Land Court.

It is now an active legal case. And we need each and every one of you to raise your voices against this.

Read. Share. Ask questions. Stay informed.

At the opening ceremony of the #87thACHPR Ordinary Session, @RosemaryKirui, Legal Adviser at @ReproRightsAFR addressed the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Women Africa at the launch of the advocacy framework on lifting reservations to the #MaputoProtocol.

Here's what we said 👇

This is Nairobi National Park.
The only national park in any capital city in the world. Home to lions, leopards, rhinos, and hundreds of species. A living ecosystem that belongs to every Kenyan.

And right now, construction is tearing through it.

77 acres approved for development. A car park for 1,300 vehicles. A fence that the EIA describes as both 700 metres and 10 kilometres. A project cost that changes from KES 57 million to KES 315 million depending on which page you read.

The park's own Management Plan prohibits development in this zone. NEMA approved it anyway.

Once this habitat is gone, it cannot be restored.

FoNNaP has filed a petition in the Senate and a case in the High Court. But we need the public to know what is happening.

Watch this. Share it. Ask questions.

Tag @kws_kenya @nema_kenya and demand transparency.

What happens when existing penal laws that criminalize abortion are not aligned with the Constitution?

Do they create fear, confusion and the risk of arrest for those seeking lawful healthcare?

Let’s hear from Adv. Prudence on this critical and timely issue in the wake of the Malindi Court of Appeal decision.

[Center for Reproductive Rights Africa @ReproRightsAFR]

In 2022, the High Court affirmed that abortion is a fundamental right, protected under Article 26(4) of the Constitution of Kenya.

On 24 April, the Court of Appeal took a different position, declaring that abortion is not a fundamental right. While the Court maintained that abortion is permitted under specific constitutional circumstances, this shift raises urgent legal and practical questions about access to care.

Systemic injustice isn’t a glitch, it’s the system working against the most vulnerable.

From a hospital bed to a jail cell for over a month because of accessing a service protected by the Constitution.

The PAK & Salim Mohammed case exposes how women and healthcare providers continue to be criminalized instead of protected. The High Court decision was clear, abortion is a fundamental right under the 2010 Constitution of Kenya.
