In 2012, the Google Zeitgeist Report ranked
abortion as top on the list of the subjects Kenyans search for in the ‘How To’
category. This clearly showed that many young girls and women were looking for
information on how to abort and that abortion is real in Kenya.
According to the ministry of health, about
310,000 abortions occur every year in Kenya. 22,000 women are admitted each
year due to unsafe abortion related complications and 2,600 of these eventually
die. Out of the women admitted, 12% are usually older than 34years, 40% are
between the ages of 25 and 34 years while 16% are adolescents and teenagers.
