Kenya has been downgraded to 'Repressed 'in the CIVICUS monitoring in 2024. The ratings range in a spectrum from the most positive to the most negative, including ratings such as open, narrowed, obstructed, repressed and closed.
CIVICUS tracked freedom of expression online and offline, the right to peaceful assembly, freedom of association, media freedom, and human rights defenders' plight. Kenya's rating dropped 13 points from 50 to 37, moving it from the middle tier, 'Obstructed', to the second-worst tier, 'Repressed'. A "Repressed" rating means civic space is significantly constrained.
