A 10-year-old Sengalese girl who was raped and is carrying twins has been denied an abortion.
The young girl was raped by a neighbor, reports The Guardian.
"She is going to have to go through with the pregnancy," said Fatou Kine Camara, president of the Senegalese women lawyers' association, which has been campaigning to the authorities for her to have a legal abortion.
Authorities in the country have ruled that she cannot have the termination.
She is going to have to go through with the pregnancy.
The girl, who lives in the south of the country, is now thought to be five months pregnant.
In a previous case, a nine-year-old was forced to have a baby after being raped.
Senegal, in west Africa, has one of the toughest abortion laws on the continent.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
