DRC: Pregnant 10 Year-Old?

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, D.R. of Congo, Governance, Health, Politics, Women & Gender, Youth

Opposition party blog UDPS Liege posts an email signed by a Gabriel Maindo which blames (Fr) President Joseph Kabila for the unfortunate case of a pregnant 10 year-old [1]: “This is Joseph Kabila's scorecard: a 10 year-old girl prostitutes herself in order to eat. The result is in front of you! (…) This is an everyday reality for many other minors aged 8 to 14 who are victims of our elites’ bad policies!” The blog posts a photo of the alleged new mother, Gladys Chelagat, holding a baby.
