Reproductive Health and Rights Challenges in Nigeria

from rePROs Fight Back · host Jennie Wetter, Hauwa Shekarau

The law in Nigeria only allows abortion in the case of a woman’s life being in danger. Studies in Nigeria have shown that this restrictive law actually increases rates of abortion rather than lowering them. Hauwa Shekarau, the country director with Ipas Nigeria, talks to us about the current and major task of working to reduce maternal deaths due to unsafe abortions, reduce complications from unsafe abortions, and enable women to have access to quality reproductive healthcare in Nigeria.Find us on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/rePROsFightBackFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rePROsFightBackInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reprosfbFor more information, check out Boom!
