Kenya census to count intersex people

Another group to be recognised, for the first time, are people with albinism, which is now listed as a disability.

Kenyans have been ordered to stay at home on Saturday and Sunday, as the government carries out a census.

It is the first in Africa to recognise intersex people, those born with physical charateristics that do not fit the typical definitions of male or female.
