Kenyan actress Kate Actress, known for her stage name, has become an advocate against teenage pregnancies after her own experiences as a young mother.
According to statistics released by the government, the number of teenage pregnancies in just three months is shocking, with most cases being rape incidences by family members.
Kate Actress has taken it upon herself to educate young girls in schools about the stress of being a teenage mother and the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
She emphasizes the importance of waiting until one is ready to engage in sexual activities, as stated in a recent post:
“My heart is completely broken 💔 the teenage pregnancies statistics reported earlier this week (if factual ) are shocking, we need to speak louder IT IS NOT OKAY, BABIES ARE NOT ACCESSORIES, YOUNG QUEENS PLEASE WAIT. YOUR TIME WILL COME. However Some of them are victims of rape and fallen pregnant as a result, 🤦🏽♀️, where is the law?? We need to have this conversation with our sons too, takes 2 to tangle, we must raise a better generation. This is heavy 😔”
Kate Actress is calling for a change in the way society approaches teenage pregnancies and for a more open conversation about the issue.
