BBC News Africa | Investigating Abortion Rights in Kenya - BBC Africa Eye documentary @BBCAfrica | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Across the world, debates are raging about access to safe abortion. Complications from unsafe, backstreet procedures are a leading cause of maternal death in developing countries. In Kenya, where almost two-thirds of pregnancies are unintended, unregulated terminations are estimated to claim the lives of over 2,000 women every year.
BBC Africa Eye reporter Linda Ngari investigates a hidden crisis that has led to an estimated seven Kenyan women dying from unsafe abortions every day, with many more facing life-altering complications.
