Q We Rise Network
Empowering ITGNC and LBQ individuals through rights-based advocacy, inclusive SRHR education, economic justice, and creative expression that centers healing and communal care.
About Our Work
Q We Rise Network is a feminist, Kenyan-based organization founded in 2023 by young Intersex, Transgender, Non-Binary, and Lesbian, Bisexual, & Queer (ITGNC & LBQ) individuals who have experienced structural violence, discriminatory laws, and social exclusion.
Grounded in principles of bodily autonomy, collective liberation, and healing justice, we advance gender equity, mental wellness, and access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for ITGNC and LBQ communities.
Our Vision
To create a world where ITGNC and LBQ individuals are valued, respected, and empowered to live in their full, authentic selves free from oppression and held in communities rooted in care, dignity and justice.
Our Approach
We center communal care as a radical act of resistance and resilience using art, music, film, and sports as culturally rooted tools for expression, healing, and civic education.
