Street theatre to generate awareness on healthcare
A play titled “Aubhagi Moina” was staged at Niamatpur, Kiratan, Dehunda, Gujadia and other places of Karimganj upazila, in the district, on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Kishoreganj Ekota Natyo Goshthi staged the play to promote awareness at the grassroots level about the importance of pre-natal care for pregnant women and the health of newborns.
The play focused on the plight of pregnant women in the face of societal superstitions and myths.
The main character Moina is a victim of her mother-in-law's superstitious beliefs and ignorance. Her very life and that of her newborn is endangered because she does not get adequate nutrition and pre-natal care.
Many people including expecting women thronged the venue to see the play while some of the men were seen taking solemn vows to take greater care of their wives who were in a delicate condition.
