Those two chapters made me feel more emotional than the others we had to read because I can relate my experience as a mom to theirs where they can’t have any medication for a C-section and where they can be left in pain until most of them die. I think that giving birth to a child is the most beautiful experience a woman will ever live and it can be catastrophic if they don’t receive the appropriate cares. I can barely understand how women can give birth without any medication. I was happy to be able to have some when I gave birth. We should be more conscious of this problem and try to find a solution to help them and eventually reduce the proportion of women who die while giving birth. I think that Harper’s idea to give the opportunity to people to go to Congo and see how the hospital works is really encouraging. The medical professionals could give their opinion and suggest ideas to make it work better. It should be part of their education. It could give them the chance to see how it is in other countries. As I read chapter 5, I kept on asking myself one question: Which pleasure do they get by raping kids?! They should be in prison for that even though most of them are militaries. The fact that they protect the country does not give them the right to abuse children even if they are in an authority position. I find it really sad that the sixteen year old boy said that if they see girls along the way it is their right to violate them. Eventually when this boy grows up, the only thing that he will remember from his childhood is that he can rape women. And unfortunately he is going to do it until he gets a punishment for it. I really wish from the bottom of my heart that we could make them see how we live life here and that rape does not happen often and explain them why it is unacceptable. We should also teach them that not all the girls bleed after the hymen is broken. Many factors can explain why they do not bleed and if they are aware of that, it might save
