Purpose of consultancy
The criminal provisions that govern abortion have formed part of Kenyan law for over five decades and were part of our law before independence. However, the Constitutional context of Kenya drastically shifted in 2010, and legal reform, perception and attitude around contentious issues such as abortion have been slow to follow. The Constitution is an aspirational document and its promise can only be achieved in a conducive legal environment, which includes taking cognisance of constitutional rights and duties.
Thus the aim of the proposed research is to ascertain the practice of prosecution of both women and girls and medical providers under Sections 158-160 of the Penal Code.
