</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
But many of the articles published last month failed to put the numbers of teen
pregnancies into context. In Kenya, high-risk early pregnancy has long been a societal
challenge. Government demographic data from 2014, the latest available, show that 15 percent of
girls aged 15-19 had already given birth, and another three percent were pregnant with their
first child – the highest rates in East Africa.
Underpinning any COVID-19-related rise in teen pregnancies are other significant challenges,
including insufficient funding for reproductive health services and a lack of comprehensive sex
education in schools – which have contributed to Kenya’s alarming numbers.

<h3 class="text-heading">COVID-19 makes it worse, Ashley Akoth*</h3>
<p class="sample-text">
Comprehensive national data on the impact of COVID-19 on teen pregnancy
rates are not yet available. At least anecdotally, though, some healthcare
providers suspect a coronavirus effect.
</p>
<br><p class="sample-text">
Last September, Ashley Okoth*, a high school student living in a remote
village in western Kenya, boarded a public bus to travel to the nearest
city to visit her aunt. She sat next to an older man, who seemed friendly
and started chatting with her. By the end of the ride, Okoth had taken his
number, and the two began texting.
Okoth was an eager student, who enjoyed physics, math, and geography and
loved playing baseball and handball with her friends. She planned to attend
university to become a teacher. So Okoth was devastated when COVID-19 closed
her school in mid-March, and her days blurred into a mundane routine of doing
chores and helping her mother at her job as a sand harvester.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
With time on her hands, Okoth decided to visit the man from the bus, and they had sex.
Just weeks later, Okoth realised she was pregnant. She says her father will prevent her
from returning to school — a punishment for her pregnancy.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
“I wish I had been going to school, because if I had been [occupied] going to school,
this would have not happened,” Okoth told The New Humanitarian. “I feel bad because my
dream has failed now just because of my pregnancy.”
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
“I feel bad because my dream has failed now just because of my pregnancy.”
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
Okoth is not alone.
</p></br>
<h3 class="text-heading">Lack of sex education </h3>
<br><p class="sample-text">
In 2013, the Kenyan government committed to scaling up sex education,
beginning courses in primary schools. But efforts to make good on this
promise have been met with fierce opposition from conservative and religious
groups.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
Currently, when sex education is taught at all,
courses focus largely on HIV prevention and
abstinence — which means students’ knowledge of
reproductive and sexual health is often limited.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
“Parents told us, ‘Those things are taught in school.
We do not talk to our children about sex. That is a taboo.
So we expect that the teachers should tell our children about
sex and about how to protect themselves,’” said Mercy Chege,
director of programmes at Plan International, an NGO advocating
for children’s rights and girls’ equality.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
She continued: “The teachers say, ‘It is the work of the
parents to teach their children about sex’... So now you’ll
find that the children will go back to the internet, they’ll
go back to their friends and they’ll try to discover.”
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
It’s a situation familiar to Okoth, the high school student
who is now pregnant. She said she learned the basics of human
reproduction in school, but she never received a thorough sexual health education.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
Kenya’s parliament is currently debating legislation mandating
age-appropriate sex education in schools.
</p></br>
<br><p class="sample-text">
But religious leaders and cultural conservatives have
launched an aggressive campaign against the bill, arguing
that such a curriculum runs counter to Kenyan cultural values.
They’ve taken to the airwaves and social media platforms to encourage a
public backlash against the bill.

<p>Pregnancy and childbirth complications are the
leading cause of death among girls aged 15–19 years
globally, according to the WHO. A 2017 Kenyan study
into maternal deaths revealed that nine percent of
women who died in the hospital were teenagers.Of

98 percent drop out of school, research conducted

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-9">
<p class="text-right">Most, like Okoth, will never return. Chege says that without education,
survival for many girls will mean turning to transactional sex or marriage to a man who
can “keep” them and their children. And, she warns, the legacy of high teenage pregnancy
rates will almost certainly outlast the coronavirus in Kenya. “For years we have been struggling
to elevate the girl child,” Chege told TNH. “So when you talk about gender equality, when you
talk about women’s empowerment, two, four, five, 10 years to come, it’s going to be affected
by what is happening right now.”</p>
