According to the statement on the website, the United Nations Population Fund in collaboration with the World Health Organisation as well as the United Nations Children’s Fund, will set up clinics and provide health screening for any of the girls coming back. Continue
They also plan on educating those who have escaped.
Rati Ndhlovu, the
representative for United Nations Population Fund, said, “The girls are
running from home and they have no menstruation pads and have nothing to
use. They need water. They need the basic things that keep a woman
dignified.
The girls are asked to question becoming
pregnant during times of insecurity. It may not be the best time to be
pregnant when you can hardly sleep in your house, when you are running
all the time.
With most health clinics closed and a
shortage of health workers, the UN and its partners are leading and
supporting coordination efforts to ensure synergies around
interventions. In that regard, the UN is working with local
non-governmental organisations and engaging the Red Cross on logistical
matters.”
It has been 130 days since the school girls were kidnapped.
