The 10-year-outdated girl who was raped but unable to terminate her pregnancy due to Senegal’s ban on abortion has given birth to twin boys.
In an interview with the Senegalese girls lawyers’ association, the woman, who has just turned eleven, was asked whether she was pleased that the rapist – her neighbour – was in police custody. “No,” she answered. “I want him to be killed because he has stopped me from going to college.”
The lady gave birth in the seventh month of her pregnancy, on 21 February. The infants invested a week in an incubator and are understood to be in excellent overall health.

Asked what she remembered about the birth she mentioned: “Nothing. I woke up and I realised I was not pregnant any far more, and I saw the twins.
“The twins are fine, but they want a lot of breastfeeding, and I do not have adequate milk. My mother buys milk at the pharmacy. We are in a position to get it, thanks to donations from generous individuals and a pharmacist who is currently being extremely kind,” she said.
The girl’s mother, who sells veggies at the market place, mentioned she had approached a female local community leader for guidance right after medical professionals confirmed the pregnancy. Her moves to strategy the state prosecutor had been supported by legal volunteers. The rapist was swiftly taken into police custody, the place he awaits trial.
“In direction of the finish of the pregnancy she could not get up on her very own at night and frequently panicked. Her father, from whom I am divorced, blames me. He says I have not brought her up appropriately, which is why it happened. When I advised him on the cellphone that the twins had been born he said, ‘I hear what you say’. Because then he has neither phoned nor come to see us.”
She asked the lawyers’ association to support the girl financially to let her to continue her training. However, she said her daughter would need to have to adjust colleges to steer clear of currently being bullied by other pupils.
Describing the rape, the 11-12 months-previous stated: “My mom had gone to perform. There was no 1 around in my place. I was enjoying with my friends and I abruptly wanted to go to the toilet. He identified me in the toilet and closed the door.”
She said he threatened to destroy her if she informed anyone of her ordeal. “Afterwards, I had pain at the bottom of my abdomen. I could not even stroll effectively but I forced myself to hold myself effectively as I was afraid he would kill me.”
She extra that the guy raped her a 2nd time in the exact same toilet. “This time he stated he would kill not only me but my mom if I told any person.”
