Kenya's proposed Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2026 aims to criminalise technology-facilitated sexual crimes such as AI-generated deepfake abuse, sextortion, and non-consensual image sharing, while outlawing informal out-of-court settlements and enhancing survivor protections and institutional response.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Kenyan founders offering digital platforms must prepare for stricter legal duties to swiftly remove non-consensual intimate content, while legal service innovators can find urgent openings to support survivors amid newly criminalised online abuses.
