Stain of Shame

Imagine being forced into marrying off your underage daughter immediately she gets her first menstrual period because you are ashamed of it. Well, this is not a tale from fiction novel. It is the reality that many Girls in the little-known Dasanach community in Northern Kenya go through at the tender age of 9 years. And as NTV's Senior reporter Ngina Kirori tells us in this special report dubbed "Stain of Shame", the Dasanach teen girls would rather get pregnant than deal with the monthly stigma that comes with menstrual period. What a tough choice to make so early in life.
