The domestic laws in place legitimize homophobia, and cause social exclusion and deprivation of fundamental human rights for LGBTI persons in Kenya. The Kenyan Civil Society Organisations presented a report to the Committee Against Torture (CAT) stating that LGBTQ persons in Kenya face constant harassment, violence and death threats by police officials, who also blackmail LGBTI persons with threats of arrest if they refuse to pay bribes. Anti-sodomy laws enable abuse that escalates to a degree of torture under CAT, thus violating Kenya’s obligations under CAT and its new Constitution.
