516) The story of a life.
Pregnant and expelled by her family she becomes a scapegoat for others
In my last newsletter I reported: “For two years now young women living a rough life are coming to see me in my office. They are either single mothers, or girls sent away by their family because of their pregnancy, the father refusing to recognise his responsibility. Very often they do not know where to turn. Sometimes these young women take refuge with a maternal aunt or grandmother or a friend. And most of the time they are also the victims of a ban. There is among the Mossi a ban that is still very , much alive and “ at work ”. It is a death threat against men of a family who do not evict a daughter at a premarital pregnancy. This ban is still very much observed.
515) They have chosen life
TO LIVE IS TO CHOOSE
LET US CHOOSE LIFE
LET US HELP THEM TO CHOOSE LIFE
For two years now young girls plagued by the many hardships of their lives have come to my office. They are either single mothers or pregnant young women who have been rejected by their families when the future father has refused to recognise his responsibility. Sometimes they do not know where to turn. More often they seek refuge with a maternal aunt or grandmother or a friend.
