The Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS)2022 shows that over 40 per cent of women have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime
In 2023, a total of 110,821 pregnancies were recorded among adolescents aged between the ages of 10 to 19 in the first five months of the year
Several women have suffered obstetric violence (OBV) at the hands of healthcare workers instead of receiving respect and dignity during the labour and delivery process
OBV is systematically inflicted upon women and girls with a callous disregard for the consequences it may have on maternal health.
