"We want the media to bring out the message that infertility affects both men and women, this can not be a blame game. Yet we know in our societies that women bear the brunt of this problem. This can be a basis of sexual and or physical abuse, divorce or isolation from the family structure. In Africa infections are the major causes of infertility. Traditional and cultural and religious practices combined with low resources can be catalysts for these conditions. Factors that include poor nutrition, untreated sexually transmitted infections, unsafe abortions, consequences of genital mutilation and exposure to smoking also promote infertility, hence both men and women are affected equally. We want the media to bring out the fact that infertility is not a case, there can be a solution to situations when a couple comes face to face with this situation."
