Grateful for Beth Maina and Cenya Ciyendi’s ‘words of wisdom’, Zawadi Nyong'o writes that if the Kenyan government ‘would only spend all the resources it does on post-abortion care, on sex education and safe abortions, we would actually begin to start saving the lives of thousands of women, and indeed unborn children in Kenya.’

Akina Mama wa Afrika has published a ‘transformational’ new book 'When I Dare to Be Powerful', a collection of herstories of five women engaged in sex work in East Africa. Its author Zawadi Nyong’o shares the surprised reaction of audiences at the launch of the book, during the 4th Africa Conference on Sexual Health and Rights, which took place in Addis Ababa in February.
