In late March, City Girl, a television drama series created in Kenyan sign language, premiered on Signs TV, a niche broadcasting station that mainly targets people living with disabilities. The community is generally under-served when it comes to accessing information on sexual and reproductive health rights. In the past, sign language was seldom incorporated in important public communications. But gradually, there has been some improvement as many television stations now incorporate sign language interpreters during news broadcasts and important public announcements. Besides including sign language insets during prime-time news broadcasts, a lot of Kenyan TV stations do not incorporate sign language inset or subtitles during other hours of programming.
