Disparities persist in family planning service use among women with lower education levels, those married to partners with lower education background, unmarried women & those in rural areas. Targeted strategies are key to addressing these gaps & ensure no one is left behind.

Most acts of violence are committed by someone the victim knows well, such as a family member or intimate partner. To create safer societies, we must first make our homes safer for women and girls.

A critical component of ensuring people have access to comprehensive family planning services is commodity security. By ensuring women have access to, and a choice of contraceptives, Kenya can significantly improve overall health outcomes leading to economic growth.
