Access to assisted reproductive technologies is a major issue especially to women who suffer from infertility, women who choose to have children by themselves or persons who identify as LGBTQ+ . A human rights based apprto ART ensures that the policies, practices and services are available to every person who needs it. it further recoginses the right to reproduce as a human right. The right to reproduce encompases a lot of rights that ae enshrined in our national, regional and international laws that as Kenya, we have ratified and are parties to. Some of the rights include but not limited to; right to health, right to non-discrimination and equality etc. The dissertation looks at the reproductive justice theory that looks at reproductive rights holistically and gives individuals the autonomy to choose what to do about their reproductive lives. Whilst there have been several attempts to pass the ART Bill since 2014, there has been a significant movement with the ART bill 2022 that has a little bit of hope.

The mini dissertation recommends that there be regulatory and legislative polices to monitor the same Centre for Human Rights LLM (Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights in Africa) Unrestricted Faculty of Laws 2024-11-18T09:57:54Z 2024-11-18T09:57:54Z 2024-12 2024 Mini Dissertation * D2024 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/99107 Disclaimer Letter en © 2023 University of Pretoria.
