It has been revealed that more than 34,000 young
women die from abortion and its complications
every year in Nigeria. This is according to statistics reeled out by the
President General of Umuada Igbo Nigeria and in

seminar held for rural women in the community on
women's reproductive health and rights and safe
family planning method.. According to Ezeofor, who addressed rural women
in Amesi, Aguata Local Government Area of
