We are back and this time we touching on a sensitive subject between Religion and the idea of abortion. We also went into the streets to hear the opinions of some Zimbabweans on who would win the battle between Religion and Abortion!  Zimbabwe is a country where the laws do not allow people to freely access abortion as a form of contraceptive, due to our conservative laws which are kept alive because of the nature of our society. Zimbabwean society is a seemingly, very Christian society, and has been known to refer to itself as a Christian nation, therefore the members of society uphold religious beliefs that in many cases remove the right to choice and bodily autonomy. As a result, these ideals trickle into our healthcare and law systems, meaning that people who are being trusted to look out for the best interests of citizens are also the same people who may not believe in a right to choice because of their religious beliefs. There is also the idea that a lot of people do not know what their rights are, or what they have access to because of a lack of information and in many cases, misinformation that is perpetuated by churches, public figures, social media and sometimes even the government owned media. We feel it is important for us to bring to the forefront the various aspects surrounding this topic in a Zimbabwean context while also shedding light on the various products, forms of contraceptives as well as the different platforms that are provided by Women First Digital.
