Notes
Purpose of the visit, Manuela went to Bulyowa village to teach the community members about the causes and the dangers of abortion among young girls and women in the community. Manuela taught two groups of members each 25 summing 50members. Manuela reached the village and found some members in groups one already seated waiting for her. She greeted them and asked them about the previous lessons learnt before the lockdown, fortunately some members were able to share their views. After that, Manuela started her lesson on abortion, she asked them that what is abortion, is abortion common in their village, they said yes, then Manuela asked them that who are the victims, they said women and young girls in their community. Manuela went on and asked them that what makes those people to carry out abortion. Community reaction, members stated that the girls abort because of denyo from the boys who pregnanted them, when they have been sexually abused and they don’t know who is responsible, wanting to finished their studies and also fear of the parents, some parents tells their daughters that if you get pregnant don’t come home. And for the women, they said sometimes women abortion when maybe they have cheated on their husbands, need to space their children and etc. Manuela went on and asked them about the dangers of abortion, they said that those victims sometimes die because of too much bleeding, sometimes they suffer from infertility and etc. Finally Manuela advised the young girls around to concentrate on their studies and the women should be faithfully to their husbands, she even told them that abortion is bad it’s against God’s Commandments, she encouraged them to talk to their children about dangers of early sex practices and teach their children about the value of education.
