Girls Activist Youth Organisation (GAYO) and Her Liberty say the media has a crucial role in reporting on challenges young women face after opting for unsafe abortion. The two organisations made the call during a day-long media orientation on unsafe abortion reporting among young women.
Her Liberty Project Manager, Kattie Mikwala, said many young women die due to unsafe abortions while some are leaving with serious problems following safe abortion. She observed that some young women take overdose drugs to terminate pregnancy while others use herbs, thereby resulting in serious complications to the extent of removing their uterus.
