Unplanned pregnancy is not something to be ashamed of, but someone should listen.
The news of a young woman giving birth during Songkran and then abandoning the baby, leading to its death, is a reflection of the problem of “unplanned pregnancy with no way out” and the lack of a safe space to seek help. Many women facing this situation may feel scared, judged, or unsure of whom to consult, ultimately choosing the riskiest solution for both themselves and the child born.
We should create a space where people feel safe to ask for help.
- Not everyone is ready to be a mother when they become pregnant.
- Not everyone knows they have the right to choose a safe solution.
- And not everyone knows where to start.
Having someone listen without judgment is the beginning of safety.
Solutions that women should know are available.
- You can legally terminate a pregnancy.
- You can legally give your child to someone else to care for, without risking abandonment.
- You can immediately access prenatal services and seek advice on rights and care.
- Consult for free, anonymously, through networks like RSA.
If you or someone you know is facing this situation, don’t keep it to yourself.
