Amazing interview

This is great work Joan Kembabazi.

Congratulations Joan

Nice discussion, indeed.

It's true. There are myriad taboos attached to menstrual cycle and reproductive health in our society. Giving a bird eye view, an unmarried girl is restricted to visit gynecologist because of the taboo that only married or pregnant women can only need such doctor. I suffered from menstrual pain throughout my life. Talking about the literacy level of doctors, my mother took me to various gynecologists, despite of, proper treatment they used to say it happens to every girl.

We share the synergies with her. Happy to meet her through you Veronika.

The What Ayesha mentioned about restrictions on certain food consumption is also true in Iran! Some believe that eating fish, for example, can increase menstrual pain because it has a "cold" property. Similarly, there are misconceptions about bathing during menstruation in Iran. It seems like there's an underlying problem that needs to be diagnosed first to tackle such misinformation affecting women's health.

This is one of the dumbest versions of the Malthusianism theory I've heard of- The gradual extinction of the human race through population decline. The rest of the world is trying to get their birth rate above the replacement rate and you are advocating that we reduce ours. If poverty is the linchpin, then advocate wealth creation, growth, development, production and increase in economic output and not a reduction in population and birth rate. We are Nigerians, we are Africans, and we have lived, survived and thrived in worse economic conditions, our parents, grandparents and great grand-parents had it worse than we have it now, wars, pestilence, famine, and a lack of just about everything that we enjoy today, yet they reproduced in hopes that one day it will get better. The life of every Nigerian living today is a reflection of that hope and dream. We live in one of the most prosperous times in human history, where technology has and keeps making life easier for us, instead of you to focus on how to use all the advantages and advances of today to move the people and human race forward, advocating a slow gradual extinction event. Do a coursery reading of population decline in Japan and most of the European countries that have followed the path you are advocating, look at China already suffering from the effect of it's one child policy and trying to reverse course. Most European countries and Canada are opening their borders to mass immigration because they don't have enough people in the productive age range of the economy to drive the economy, and here you are trying to import a failed idea into Nigeria. Chidera, reverse track and look for something more productive to do that will add to the economy and stop advocating and creating problems for the future generation. Mentioned Bill Gates as your inspiration, I suggest you look for better models that are trying to move the human race forward and not those seeking its demise with various schemes. #eatbugs #meatarebadforyou #artificalfoodlth crea

Thank you for the interview! We appreciate you

Thanks! There is so little coverage of this slow moving disaster.

Paul Ehrlich gets only 9 views in a week in 2024? Wow

Veronika, We are all behind your Vision for Women. 💪💪💪

This was a very very insightful conversation and listening to it had me going through rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you Joan Kembabazi for what you are doing for our girls, communities and our environment. As fellow Nature Conservationists , we are so very proud of You.

It was very brave of You Joan to share your personal story and my heart goes out for you, having lost someone dear at such a young age because the society and the systems failed to protect you and your friend. Sharing our personal stories and those of others around us helps humanize the cause for Girls Education, Reproductive Justice and Nature Conservation for the world to know the depth of suffering subjected to our girls, women and vulnerable communities because of decisions people make regarding Nature and the Environment. Thank you Veronika for giving us a chance to hear Joan's story as she speaks for millions of young women across the world and in Africa.💚💚💚💚💚💚. Keep up the good work with @NatureSolutionaries
