Because she doesn’t have a voice’. Perceptions of rejection amongst girls who have dropped out of school in rural western Kenya
Despite global commitments to girls’ education, many dropout prematurely facing health, social, and economic hardships. Using ten focus group discussions and ten in-depth interviews, this study explored issues identified as important in the lives of girls who had dropped out of school. Thematic analysis first revealed rejection as a central theme in the girls' experiences, prompting a deductive approach that identified five interrelated themes: (…
Water, sanitation and hygiene at sex work venues to support menstrual needs
Introduction: Adequate menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) is necessary for women's health and equity of all menstruators. Female sex workers (FSW) require good MHH to prevent discomfort and exposure to pathogens. No studies have evaluated water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions of FSW. We report on a cross-sectional WASH assessment at FSW venues in Kisumu, western Kenya. Methods: Stakeholders identified 77 FSW venues in Kisumu, of which …
Interventions aiming to improve menstrual, sexual, reproductive, and mental health among out-of-school girls
Menstrual cups to reduce bacterial vaginosis and STIs through reduced harmful sexual and menstrual practices among economically vulnerable women
Clinicaltrials.gov NCT05666778 (28th December, 2022); Pan African Clinical Trials Registry 202,305,912,778,108 (25th May, 2023)
Research priorities for improving menstrual health across the life-course in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Research on menstrual health is required to understand menstrual needs and generate solutions to improve health, wellbeing, and productivity. The identification of research priorities will help inform where to invest efforts and resources. OBJECTIVES: To identify research priorities for menstrual health across the life-course, in consultation with a range of stakeholder groups from a variety of geographic regions, and to identify if m…
Impact of Covid-19 lockdowns on adolescent pregnancy and school dropout among secondary schoolgirls in Kenya
INTRODUCTION: Secondary school closures aimed at limiting the number of infections and deaths due to COVID-19 may have amplified the negative sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and schooling outcomes of vulnerable adolescent girls. This study aimed to measure pandemic-related effects on adolescent pregnancy and school dropout among school-going girls in Kenya. METHODS: We report longitudinal findings of 910 girls in their last 2 years of second…
Quality of life and well-being problems in secondary schoolgirls in Kenya
Background Adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa often report low levels of quality of life (QoL) and well-being, but reliable data are limited. This study examines which sociodemographic, health, and behavioral risk factors and adverse adolescent experiences are associated with, and predictive of, QoL in Kenyan secondary schoolgirls. Methods and findings 3,998 girls at baseline in a randomised controlled trial in Siaya County, western Kenya were med…
‘You don’t have to sleep with a man to get how to survive’
In sub-Saharan Africa, girls suffer from high rates of morbidity and mortality, enduring high exposure to sexual and reproductive health harms. Staying in school helps protect girls from such harms. Focus group discussions were conducted in a rural, impoverished area of Kenya with adolescent girls participating in a 4-arm cluster randomised controlled trial, evaluating menstrual cups, cash transfer, or combined cups plus cash transfer against con…
How addressing menstrual health and hygiene may enable progress across the Sustainable Development Goals
There is increasing global attention to the importance of menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) for the lives of those who menstruate and gender equality. Yet, the global development community, which focuses on issues ranging from gender to climate change to health, is overdue to draw attention to how addressing MHH may enable progress in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To address this gap, we undertook a collective exercise to h…
Effect of menstruation on girls and their schooling, and facilitators of menstrual hygiene management in schools
BACKGROUND: Lack of menstrual knowledge, poor access to sanitary products and a non-facilitating school environment can make it difficult for girls to attend school. In India, interventions have been developed to reduce the burden of menstruation for school girls by government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We sought to identify challenges related to menstruation, and facilitators of menstrual management in schools in three states in …
Menstrual cups and cash transfer to reduce sexual and reproductive harm and school dropout in adolescent schoolgirls
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03051789 , 15th February 2017
Integrating HIV, syphilis, malaria and anaemia point-of-care testing (Poct) for antenatal care at dispensaries in western Kenya
The intervention had a modest overall impact on wait times and length-of-stay for women seeking MCH services while ensuring pregnant women received essential diagnostic testing. Nurse utilization rates fluctuated among days: nurses experienced spikes in workload on some days but were under-utilized on the majority of days. Overall, our model suggests there was sufficient time to deliver all WHO's required ANC activities and offer integrated testi…

Do Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Conditions in Primary Schools Consistently Support Schoolgirls’ Menstrual Needs? A Longitudinal Study in Rural Western Kenya
Many females lack access to water, privacy and basic sanitation-felt acutely when menstruating. Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions in schools, such as access to latrines, water, and soap, are essential for the comfort, equity, and dignity of menstruating girls. Our study was nested within a cluster randomized controlled pilot feasibility study where nurses provided menstrual items to schoolgirls. We observed the WASH conditions of 30…

Menstrual hygiene management among adolescent schoolgirls in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: A lack of adequate guidance on menstrual management; water, disposal, and private changing facilities; and sanitary hygiene materials in low- and middle-income countries leaves schoolgirls with limited options for healthy personal hygiene during monthly menses. While a plethora of observational studies have described how menstrual hygiene management (MHM) barriers in school impact girls' dignity, well-being, and engagement in school a…
Quantifying Distance Overestimation From Global Positioning System in Urban Spaces
Objectives. To investigate accuracy of distance measures computed from Global Positioning System (GPS) points in New York City. Methods. We performed structured walks along urban streets carrying Globalsat DG-100 GPS Data Logger devices in highest and lowest quartiles of building height and tree canopy cover. We used ArcGIS version 10.1 to select walks and compute the straight-line distance (Geographic Information System–measured) and sum of dist…
"Daddy, Let's Talk"
What follows are brief selections from a transcript of taped conversations between an anthropologist father, Joseba Zulaika, and his six‐year‐old daughter, Garazi. They are real life dialogues. They are offered as an ethnographic instance of the experience of anthropologists and members of their families shifting between field and home. In this case, they concern two worlds, the Basque Country in Spain as thefieldwork and native country, and Reno…
