KHRC's @Bob_Waweru - "Teenage pregnancy in Kenya is a grave issue, intertwining multiple human rights violations. It robs girls of education and compromises their health rights. County Governors must prioritize protective frameworks for adolescents." #RedCard #TakeAction
Health care providers need an attitude shift and attitude change in how they perceive and communicate with adolescents. This allows them to feel safe enough to be honest and open up. @citizentvkenya @MoraaBirika @Starlight_Bo @TMshindi @VickyRubadiri #endadolescentpregnancies
An adolescent girl has a higher risk of getting CS during birth since their pelvis is underdeveloped. @citizentvkenya @Starlight_Bo @MoraaBirika @TMshindi @VickyRubadiri #endadolescentpregnancies
An adolescent has a higher risk of contacting STI and a higher likelihood of having premature birth since they are not capable of handling the complications that come with pregnancy @citizentvkenya @Starlight_Bo #endadolescentpregnancies
.@KELINKenya's @ValNjogu: We're not neglecting boys in this conversation. It's crucial to recognize that adolescent pregnancy disproportionately impacts girls. Let's address these realities factually. @citizentvkenya @CynthiaWMwangi #RedCard #TakeAction
Best age to carry a pregnancy is between the age of 20-29 with least risks. Therefore, since adolescent do not fall within this bracket and are still developing physiologically, they carry higher risk when they are pregnant @Starlight_Bo @citizentvkenya #endadolescentpregnancy
