Happy Madaraka Day to all Kenyans! As we think of the bloodshed by our forefathers so that we could attain self-governance, shall we also think about the blood shed by women globally each month and why this should be an important conversation for all of us. “In times of crisis, the reproductive health and rights of women and girls are often neglected and worse, threatened. The COVID-19 pandemic can be regarded as an example of how much a crisis can negatively affect the reproductive health of women and girls. On my blog post today, I have Raquel Daniels a teens coach and an advocate for girls rights sharing her experiences responding to Corona Virus pandemic in support of young women and girls in the internally displaced camps in Nigeria.
