This group raises awareness on the harmful effects of child marriage and uterine prolapse. RRF is a group formed by nine influential women representing the 9 wards of their district. “Women in the community don’t like to draw attention to them, but since I was diagnosed with the condition, I can identity women who are suffering just by looking at them,” explained Baishara.īaishara- sitting in the middle-discussing about Uterine Prolapse When she joined RRF, she was determined to help other women like her and since then she has taught 45 women about natural remedies and pelvic exercise to prevent UP. She sought the help of natural remedies and exercise to relieve some of her pain. When she got married, lack of rest after childbirth, coupled with hard labor during pregnancy and inadequate child spacing had caused Baishara to have stage 2 of uterine prolapse.

When Baishara was growing up, she heard about the condition but because of the social stigma attached to it, women never openly spoke about it. This debilitating condition causes extreme physical discomfort and emotional suffering.

One of the most common causes of uterine prolapse among women like Baishara is teen pregnancy. This beautiful great grandma is a uterine prolapse survivor and also the chairperson of the Reproductive Rights Forum (RRF).īaishara was married at the young age of 13 and started being sexually active and bore children before her body fully matured. “I am so old with great grandchildren.” So, how old are you? “Oh, I am 51” said Baishara.

Make sure to keep a look out here every Wednesday and Friday to stay up to date with my fellowship! The Advocacy Project is going to pair with Global Giving to raise funds for CRP’s Hope Workshop, with each donation being matched 100%!!!! I will have a lot more info on this coming soon, but put it on your calendars now so you don’t forget. Until then, I’m updating all of you on the beginning of this amazing journey and making further preparations where I can.Īs promised, I have great news for those who want to help. I meet with my supervisor, Tim, on Sunday and will have a clearer vision of where these 10 weeks will lead me. But will the women want their stories heard? Will they accept my help? I worry about these things, but I am eager to get started with my work at CRP. I am ready to lift up the voices of the women I’ll be working with, whether that be with videos or blogs. I am now confident that I have the tools to grapple with all the changes around me. Thanks to video training, you shouldn’t be surprised when you see my name in all the Oscar buzz for 2018. Last week, I spent 9-5 everyday with the other amazing fellows, being trained by experts in videography, M&E, photography, blogging, fundraising, podcasting, etc. Arriving here, I felt all those new feelings associated with change but I also felt prepared to begin this Peace Fellowship.

This is where I will be updating you all about the funny (above), sad, enraging, and joyous experiences I have in Amman, Jordan. I mentally note to put this in my blog (hi guys!).

I relax a bit and move on to worrying about Ramadan in this desert heat when I hear, “Are you Muslim?” and I reply affirmatively and my cab driver wishes me a blessed Ramadan.

Yet, every time I am taking those overly confident steps toward my cab, these feelings catch me off guard.ĭetermined, I shake those feelings off and get in the cab (refusing to pay anything more than 20 JD). The panic, the excitement, the *I will NOT let this taxi driver rip me off* is the same in every new country I visit. Nothing prepares you for the moment you step off a plane and into a country you aren’t yet familiar with.
