Kenyan women like Nelly Naisula Sironka and Muthoni Gitau are opting for sterilization to take full control of their futures. Sironka, 28, underwent tubal ligation last October, feeling “liberated” by her decision, while Gitau, 34, shared her experience online, encouraging others.
Despite societal expectations, more Kenyan women are seeking permanent birth control, though some face resistance from doctors. Advocates argue the choice empowers women to live on their own terms, redefining traditional roles of womanhood.
