“We were in a group of 3 girls. One got married and the other one got pregnant but she didn’t make it. She died while giving birth.”
These words were uttered to me by a 16-year-old girl from East Seme Ward, Kisumu County. I will call her Monica-not her real name. She looks weak and tired due to breastfeeding her 1-year-old baby. She got pregnant at the age of 15 after attending disco matanga at night. Am sure many of you are familiar with it.
