Kenya's Abortion Law: A Two-Tiered System of Justice?

Kenya's Abortion Law: A Disparity Between Promise and Practice In Kenya, the abortion law is creating a two-tiered system. While on paper, it guarantees women's reproductive rights, the reality is different for many. Ruth Mumbi, a prominent advocate, explains that the law disproportionately affects women in poverty and rural areas. "Our laws don't protect women who live under the margin," she says, highlighting the continued criminalization of women seeking abortions in marginalized communities. The video shows a stark contrast between the legal guarantees and the daily struggles faced by many women in Kenya. This inequality underscores the need for reform and equitable access to reproductive healthcare for all women, regardless of their socioeconomic status or location.
