Kenya: Govt Sets Millions Aside for Sanitary Towels

Treasury has allocated Sh300 million for impoverished girls to have access to free sanitary towels. The move aims to ensure that young girls do not fail to attend school during their cycle as has been the case in parts of the country.

    Teeming foreigners who covet the fabulous wealth of Africa (and are wary of increased competition from multiplying hordes of restive 'barbarians' in Africa) have assaulted the reproductive systems of Kenyans and indeed Africans for generations - in addition of 'culling' the best of the masses. DipoProvera, physical castration, destructive testing of exotic and often toxic concoctions they wouldn't test on their own AIDS/HIV+ citizens, ... Call it chemical warfare with WMDs. If the sanitary pads are made in foreign lands and not exhaustively tested by the security forces, then the survival of the society may depend on at least these few girls NOT having been exposed to possible reproductive or genetic risk - which, with current state of the art, can have long-term effects or lead to permanent genetic modification in the offspring and the generations thereafter.
