    Valerie Wangithi, 23, a make-up artist based in Nairobi is seated outside a restaurant lost in thought. She does not hesitate to let out what she has been contemplating.

    “I have had enough, I really want my uterus removed once and for all because this is too much, I just can’t take it anymore,” she starts off.

    “I was diagnosed with endometriosis (a disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus) in 2019. But before I get to that, I started getting my menses at the age of 11 ... they showed up with a lot of cramps,” Ms Wangithi says.
