Kenya

Each year in Kenya, more than 2,500 women and girls die from unsafe
abortions-despite the fact that abortion care is legal under
certain circumstances. The country's government guaranteed the right
to reproductive health care in its 2010 Constitution, and yet has
fallen short on these promises.
Pervasive stigma, misinformation, and a lack of enforceable laws have
made abortion care inaccessible for many in Kenya, and unsafe
abortions are a leading cause of maternal mortality, especially among
low-income women.
Today, on the tenth anniversary of the Kenyan Constitution, the Center
published a new report detailing how the government's failure to
uphold its obligations has harmed its citizens-and how it can
better protect the health and rights of Kenyans.

This week, the Center and dozens of our international partners led a
social media campaign and webinar urging the Kenyan government to
protect access to the safe, legal abortion care that was guaranteed in
the Constitution a decade ago. But our work is only just beginning.
A lack of access to critical health care can lead to devastating
consequences in a woman's life and family, and in society as a whole.
Today and every day, we won't stop fighting until all Kenyans get the
care they deserve.
