3 Years Ago…….


15 January, exactly three years ago, I lost my aunt since she got eclamsy  after she delivered her fifth daughter. It awakened me.  I defamed myself how come the person around me has to dead because of this illness? At the time I already graduated from US, so actually I should be more aware about reproductive health. You can image, every day even every hour I play around internet, I could get any information from it, including eclamsy, but in reality I did not do anything and finally my aunty passed away. No one blamed me, but I blamed myself. From this moment, I promise to myself that I have to learn about reproductive health, and I will spread out this information to my communities. And I already start it. Unfortunately, my willingness to teach my community about reproductive health and sexuality is seen as an astray stream, so I am banned to teach reproductive health. I understand it is a new thing for my community, but why they never learn from my auntie’s tragedy.  However, show must go on. I still keep learning about reproductive health and sexuality, and spreading out for people.

From my deep heart, me sending praying for my aunt, Fatimatuz Zuhro.
