Women left with newspapers & leaves

in African Women, Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s government is reaching the limits of absurdity – This is Zimbabwe reports that sanitary towels that were donated during an international appeal are to be “quality tested” before exempting them from import duty. Meanwhile the women of Zimbabwe are left with the indignity of having to resort to newspapers and leaves….

At the moment Zimbabwean women are forced to use newspaper and toilet paper; those in the rural areas are apparently resorting to leaves and tree bark! And apparently this is leading to infections and illnesses. Has the good zimbabwean government done its duty to Zimbabwean women and quality tested all the newspaper, toilet paper, leaves and bark in the country ..? Of course not! They don’t care about women and the indignity they are having to endure. Wow, this makes me angry!
