A survey on Obstetric Violence faced by women in Kenya has revealed compelling evidence that Kenyan mothers are being subjected to gross human rights violations while seeking maternal care.

In the survey dubbed “Towards Ending OBV in Kenya”, 83 per cent of the women said they had experienced OBV. Out of this, 11% were women with disabilities. 

In the report released on April 8, 46 per cent of women who had experienced OBV were between 25 and 34 years of age.
