IT'S TIME TO CAST YOUR VOTE!
As COVID-19 effects the education, personal safety, and bodily autonomy of girls worldwide, Kenya is no exception. Kenya has seen a dramatic rise in teenage pregnancies with over 30,000 teenagers becoming pregnant countrywide since schools were closed due to the pandemic.
This year, the United Nations International Day of the Girl theme is “Be Bold, From Equality to Equity.” In response, Freely in Hope has launched an arts competition to invite communities to be a part of reimagining a safer Kenya for teenage girls. The arts competition is themed: Back off!! Mimi ni under 18 (I’m under 18).
We received 44 submissions from 12 counties across Kenya!
