Senegal: Contraception and the Imam's Daughter

Written byAlice Backer

At Blog Politique du Senegal, Senegalais Scientifique comments on a local news story about an Imam's daughter having a baby out of wedlock by a European(Fr): “the most unsettling part of the story is … not that she had a baby with a European … but rather that she got pregnant without meaning to. That proves a severe educational flaw. If she found herself pregnant, she probably did not use contraception and ignores everything about AIDS and other STDs.”
