Project Report | Jun 29, 2022
FWA march 2022 Narrative Report

By Parfaite Ntahuba | Project Leader

“I married a man and we were happy with our 2 boys. One day a friend of mine told me that my husband has another wife in the countryside. I was shocked by this bad news. I spent days in my room crying. I made research and I found that it was the reality. My husband whom I loved had another wife. When I asked him why he did that to me, he  became naughty and he traumatized me with these words:  "You were lucky to have me and you ask me that I have another wife; you are stupid like all women". Then he took my children and until now 17 years have passed I am not allowed to see my children.

I have an inexplicable sorrow I feel like I am a bad mother, I feel guilty and I spend sleepless nights thinking about my children. I don't know if they will accept me as their mother one day. I got remarried to another man but I couldn’t have child. I am a woman who does not know what joy is. Thank you for inviting me to this workshop, I feel relieved because of the subject discussed and advice.”
