Zainab
Sheriff has announced Via her Instagram page ,that she is
embarking on a new project.
The
model slash actress is currently travelling the provinces shooting a documentary
on the Maternal Health, Teenage Pregnancy and victimization and abuse of women
in Sierra Leone.
Since
the ebola epidemic, it has been
reported that at least 60% of the country’s teenage girls are either pregnant
or have had a baby.
They
have been forced to defer their education with most of them having no means of
returning due to the current situation they find themselves in.
Pregnant
girls were recently denied the choice of education because as you may recall the
first lady stated in an interview earlier this year
“ They
would distract and corrupt the other students, and they should take
responsibilities for their actions”
This
new documentary will raise awareness and bring forward the issues that the
women in Sierra Leone silently face and hopefully work towards helping young
girls get back on the right track.
Great
idea Zainab we look forward to the final product.
