From Addis Ababa to Windhoek there has been a lot of hype about the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) from heads of state, tech evangelists and futurists, narrating the disruptive effects that the technological revolution will have on jobs and economies.

An abortion is a medical or surgical procedure that deliberately ends a pregnancy before an embryo or foetus is born. Many of us these days have turned a blind eye on the fact that abortion has been on a rise in Namibia, politicians, activists and others have chosen to base more focus on gender-based violence whilst lives of unborn babies have been sidelined.

On the subject of violence, Nelson Mandela said, “no country, no city, no community is immune. But neither are we powerless against it.” 

I have been reading the Namibian opinions through text and I have found that most writers don’t write from their hearts.

Imagine walking out of war without a parent and still surviving. Imagine being made a mother of your younger siblings and having the audacity to nail it.

Women’s ability to access safe and legal abortion in Namibia is restricted by the law, with abortion only permitted to save the life of a woman or to preserve her physical and mental health.

Life as a woman living in Namibia is becoming increasingly dangerous. I am constantly confronted with headlines of how women and children are raped and killed in this country.
