===Kenya===
In Kenya, HIV was considered an ongoing issue, and the governor believed that compulsory sterilization of women infected with HIV could stop the spread of the virus. In 2012, a report titled "Robbed of Choice" sparked outrage. The report outlined the experiences of 40 women infected with HIV that had been sterilized against their will. 5 of the 40 women filed a lawsuit against the government of Kenya, claiming violations of their Health and Human Rights.<ref name="hhrjournal.org">{{Cite web|date=2015-07-16|title=High Court of Kenya to Address Forced Sterilization of HIV-Positive Women and Collection of Names of People Living With HIV|url=https://www.hhrjournal.org/2015/07/kenya-forced-sterilization-hiv/|access-date=2021-04-09|website=Health and Human Rights|language=en-us}}</ref><ref name="Boston">{{Cite web|date=2015-07-21|title=Kenya, Forced Sterilization, & Women with HIV|url=https://fxb.harvard.edu/2015/07/21/kenya-forced-sterilization-and-women-with-hiv/|access-date=2022-01-04|website=FXB Center for Health & Human Rights {{!}} Harvard University|language=en-us}}</ref> The majority of the women who were sterilized knew nothing about the procedure or its consequences, which was one reason they did not push the issue. The President thought it would be good to keep a list of women who had been infected with HIV, but by naming these women, many of them did not to want to receive medical treatment due to the shame associated with the virus. "The authors concluded that punitive and restrictive laws related to pregnancy have numerous adverse consequences—both health-related and socioeconomic—for women, and urged human rights groups to work with government institutions to protect and fulfill women's fundamental reproductive rights."<ref name="hhrjournal.org"/><ref name="Boston"/>
