Forced to flee from home... What would you do?

Forced to flee from home... What would you do?People are being forced from their homes more than ever. Whether they are fleeing conflict or lose their homes to natural disasters, there are an estimated 70.8 million refugees worldwide. Women & girls are often most at risk – the threat of sexual and gender-based violence increases as does the risk of trafficking, and basic healthcare can get overlooked.  We want to know: what would you do under these circumstances? Life has always been largely peaceful in your country until one day civil war suddenly breaks out and you and your family are forced to flee home.Once you cross the border and are settled into a refugee camp, your husband refuses to use contraception and your injectable is only effective for 12 weeks.You are worried you’ll get pregnant again, something you do not want to happen whilst you are in the refugee camp with limited access to healthcare, and whilst your family is already struggling to survive.You decide to:Your name is Fatima, and you are a 29-year-old high school teacher. You are married with two young children – a daughter aged four, and a son, two. After a few months in the camp you realise you are pregnant. Abortion is legal in your host country, but as a refugee you are unsure of your rights and the closest hospital is over 60km away.You hear about abortion pills from other women in the camp that are available through local mobile clinics.You decide to:You seek advice on the methods of contraception available to you from the local outreach worker. You decide on a long-acting contraceptive method called Jadelle, an implant.As you are worried that your husband will find out, the outreach worker advises you to bring him along to a group session on contraception.You decide to:You are able to receive medical abortion pills through a nurse practitioner at the local clinic, who explains you the safe way to take the pills at home. She also provides you with contraception counselling and options for the future. At the local district hospital, medical practitioners are under the misbelief it is not possible to provide surgical abortions to refugees, whilst others refuse to provide abortions on moral grounds, therefore forcing you through an unintended pregnancy. You and your husband attend the family planning session with other couples from the camp. Your husband is convinced of the importance of contraception and you both agree that the Jadelle and condoms are the best options for you to avoid an unintended pregnancy.You now have up to five years of protection against unintended pregnancy. However, you are still worried about the risk of STI and HIV transmission but are unable to talk about contraception to your husband.
