County governments of kenya should invest more in contraceptives

Kenya’s population is growing rapidly at the expense of women’s health.  In Kenya, women account for more than a half of its population. With nearly 1 in five women already mothers before their 18 birthday; there is a need to focus more on women sexual and reproductive health.

It is estimated  that  76 million girls and women in developing countries, Kenya being among them, experience unwanted/unintended pregnancies mainly because there is lack of  comprehensive sexuality education and lack of contraception. Moreover, 220 million women in the world mostly from developing countries cannot use contraception even though they really want to because they have limited access to contraception and comprehensive sexuality education.
