"CORONA BROKE MY MARRIAGE"

 African women abandoned by their husbands 

The pandemic has brought more harm than good to our social life. Many people lost their friends and families to the monster corona virus. Some even lost their relations because of the lockdown  that was brought as a result of the virus. It is not easy coping up in a long distance relationship if you were used to seeing each other more often. 

Jane, not her real name, narrates how the husband left her and their two children. Life became unbearable when the husband lost his job and could not take care of the family. He felt bad in the society and had to leave his family to travel to a friend's place for help.  The friend promised to find him a job and when it was impossible, he committed suicide. Jane is one of the many people who are left widows and alone by their parents because of the corona and it's effects of hardship.

Some fear meeting their long distance partners because you can never know who has it or who doesn't. Let us avoid gatherings, if possible let us stay home and avoid unnecessary travels. 

We should not discriminate those who have it.  Instead, we should support them by keeping safe and avoiding more infections.  It is a campaign to everyone to create awareness on the effective measures.  Let's keep our friends and families safe and with God some day all shall get back to the old normal.
