In this deeply personal and informative podcast, senior gender journalist Moraa Obiria
explores the hidden toll of Female Genital Schistosomiasis on women in Homa Bay
County, Kenya. Through the story of Loza, and insights from a neglected tropical
diseases expert and research scientist, the episode unpacks how a parasitic disease
linked to infested freshwater continues to affect thousands silently. Backed by research
from LVCT Health and the Ministry of Health, the story calls for urgent public health
interventions, including clean water, improved sanitation, and awareness, to protect
vulnerable women in endemic areas. This is not just a health issue; it is a matter of
justice.
