Abstract: In recent years the issue of reproductive rights in the United States has gained prominence in the media through several important legal cases, most notably the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe versus Wade. The issue has received little, if any, attention from economists. Economics appears, however, to be well suited to address the issue. This paper examines the issue of reproductive rights by employing a combination of economic and legal concepts. Couching the issue in this context affords economists the opportunity to consider the efficiency aspects of various legal scenarios that pertain to reproductive rights.
Keywords: Economics appears reproductive rights.

Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate strategies for mitigating the impact of post-conflict parenting on primary school pupils’ academic achievements in Sigowet and Nyakach sub counties of Western Kenya. The correlational research design was adopted. The target group was primary school pupils in Sigowet and Nyakach sub counties, parents, Education Quality Assurance Officers, NGOs and community leaders. The researcher used questionnaires, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and observation checklists in collection of primary data. The completed questionnaires were coded and entries made into the Statistical Package for social Sciences (SPSS 21). The research used both descriptive and inferential statistics in data analysis and interpretation. The conclusion is that although the Kenya government and humanitarian organizations had employed various interventions during and after emergencies to support victims of armed ethnic conflict, the humanitarian interventions have largely been limited to the emergence period. The study recommends that more needs to be done in the post-conflict period to mitigate the impact of conflict on parenting and pupils’ academic achievements by; strengthening peace and security programs, setting up rehabilitation centers, establishing youth and women empowerment programs and provision of material support to the vulnerable groups.
Keywords: Strategies for enhancing, post-conflict parenting, Primary school pupils, academic achievements, Sigowet and Nyakach sub counties.
