Women living with HIV in Kenya are filing human rights lawsuit on International Human Rights Day to challenge the practice of forced and/or coerced sterilization of women living with HIV in Kenya.
Nairobi, Kenya 10th December, 2014 – At Milimani Law Courts
The International Community of Women Living with HIV – Kenya (ICW-K) in collaboration with ICW Eastern Africa and ICW Global stand in solidarity with the Kenyan women living with HIV who have filed a lawsuit on this International Human Rights Day seeking justice after being forcibly and/or coercively sterilized because of their HIV status.
