Audrey Mbugua

Audrey Mbugua is a Kenyan transgender activist who has been involved in legal actions to fight for the rights of transgender people.[1][2][3]

In July 2014 the High Court of Kenya ordered the National NGO Council to register Mbugua's group, Transgender Education and Advocacy, and pay its legal fees.[2] In October of that year, in a landmark case, the High Court of Kenya ordered the Kenya National Examinations Council to change Mbugua's name on her academic certificates, which was listed as Andrew, and also to remove the male gender mark on them.[1][2][3] Mbugua has been nominated for the Human Rights Tulip Award for her activism.[2]
