Domestic Violence and Sexually transmitted diseases: how many women in Liberia and Sierra Leone experience it during prenatal?

Yesterday I had a meeting with Chouchou Namegabe, who is the coordinator at Association des Femmes des Medias du Sud Kivu(AFEM) and we talked about Violence against women in Liberia and Congo DRC and the aftermath. Since she has been working with women who have been abused violently, I asked her whether these women who had been victims of sexual and physical abuse had been checked for sexually transmitted diseases. With my new idea I believe that these women are more likely to experienced a sexually transmitted disease(STDs).
These violence and sexual violence women are major health problems and huge violations of girls and women's human rights which are not talked about in communities where these women live. It is not just the campaign and demonstrations, it is about reaching out to these girls and women who are traumatized because of these acts. Many girls and women who have undergone the procedure are been stigmatized in their communities.
Therefore, before we wait for the laws to be pass and implement let us give space to these girls and women in order to listen to their stories. New laws are made for the city people and they are not been enforced. Yet the poor victims are still suffering  and have their cases still pending in court.

  1. I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (priests olalude abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as spirituallighthealing101@live.com He travel sometimes.love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,gambling voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,cancer voodoo,Trouble in marriage,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
    more.
