Abstract

Lesbianism is an emerging issue which has had far-reaching impacts on schools in Kenya. These impacts touch on different aspects of society such as culture, religious beliefs of a people, family and education. This study will therefore delineate the prevalence, manifestations, effects and possible measures that can be taken to address the issue. Although different sectors in the society have united to address the issue, there have been a number of setbacks such as the global advocacy to legalize LGBTQ. Since time immemorial, Africa as a whole and Kenya in particular has been on the forefront to conserve cultural beliefs thus regarding lesbianism as a foreign practice.
