English translation by PulseWire member JC2986

I met a woman who was a shoe salesperson. She was also 5 months pregnant. Someone had stolen her money at the market which caused her husband to leave her and chase her and her children out of their home. The pregnant woman is alone with her children now and suffers daily.

Quel dommage

Quel dommage que quelque chose qui a ete fait a une femme et qui n'est pas sa faute lui retombe dessus. En tant que femmes, nous devons nous soutenir les unes avec les autres.

My dear Sibatu,

I am so sorry to hear this story of the woman who was robbed, and then abandoned by her husband. How is she now able to feed her five children, and care for herself with another child on the way?

Keep writing your stories and tell the world what is happening around you. It matters. By writing, you will make a difference for other women like her. God bless you.

Warmly,
Sheila

Mon cher Sibatu,

Je suis vraiment désolé d'entendre cette histoire de la femme qui a été volé, puis abandonnée par son mari. Comment est-elle maintenant en mesure de nourrir ses cinq enfants, et les soins pour elle-même avec un autre enfant sur ​​le chemin?

Continuez d'écrire vos histoires et dire au monde ce qui se passe autour de vous. C'est important. En écrivant, vous allez faire une différence pour les autres femmes comme elle. Que Dieu vous bénisse.

chaleureusement,
Sheila

Thank you for your story

This is a very tragic situation for any woman to be in. Is there anyway this woman can be assisted like through civil society organisations. They can come in and help her with where to stay. She is being tortured psychologically and needs urgent intervention. Being pregnant and not having your spouse's support at a time like this is very terrible. I am with you and a strongly support that this woman's voice is heard.

Thanks

You just showed all of us that no matter where you live women struggle and can feel all alone. This is a very sad story and I can't imagine how hard it is to be treated this way. Keep writing please. Love Coach Marcie
