Who do communities trust when making decisions about their bodies?
Speaking at an event co-hosted by The Fuller Project and MSI Choices, Ogechi Onuoha, Programme Director at MSI Nigeria, highlighted how misinformation around sexual and reproductive health creates uncertainty for women and girls, particularly when narratives from health providers compete with content pushed by online influencers.
Onuoha outlined the real-world consequences of this confusion: increased unplanned pregnancies, unsafe abortion services, girls dropping out of school, and diminished life outcomes.
“When girls drop out of school,” she noted, “most times they don’t get the chance to go back.”
