LIFE provides media professionals with a guide to combat false narratives on abortion
…address health workers’ attitudes to abortion patients in Lagos State
By Naomi Onome
This guide from the Leadership Initiative for Youth Empowerment (LIFE) provides crucial information and perspectives for media professionals to develop accurate and impactful content on safe abortion care in Lagos State, Nigeria.
LIFE’s guide aims to provide scriptwriters with key information, promote public awareness, encourage positive representation, and support advocacy for policies like the STOP Guideline. The guide emphasises correcting myths, promoting compassionate healthcare, cultural and religious sensitivities, and policy advocacy.
LIFE reiterates that misinformation about abortion, particularly in Lagos State, is prevalent, leading to harmful and misleading beliefs about safe abortion practices. Misinformation and stigma resulting in misconceptions about abortion are harmful to the psychological well-being of the female gender; hence, the need to promote accurate information and respectful practices among health workers.
However, cultural and religious biases contribute to false narratives and biased health care responses, often leading to delayed or denied treatment, judgemental language, and fear, threatening which in turn discourages women from seeking help, thereby putting their lives at risk.
It is suggested by LIFE that using human stories, expert voices, community voices, and evidence-based facts to create impactful content is important; it advises the use of non-judgemental, respectful, and empowering language to reduce stigma and promote a health- and rights-based approach.
Following this guide, media professionals can contribute to accurate and responsible content by creating increased public awareness of safe abortion facts and existing legal frameworks; Reduce stigma against women seeking safe abortion care; improve portrayal of health workers as compassionate and ethical providers; ensure stronger advocacy for policies that protect women’s health and lives.
Overall, this guide is a valuable resource for promoting accurate and responsible content on safe abortion care in Lagos State, and its implementation can help save lives and reduce maternal mortality.
