Taking advantage of underage child, who is in a difficult situation is evil. That is the evil that happens in #Sawa#EndHighschoolinSawa
This is what #Sawa is; very often you hear of young girls undergoing sexual abuses while there. Sawa is where the young #Eritrea|ns are abused, groomed, brainwashed and their spirit is broken as to gain comple control of their lives. Join #EndHighSchoolInSawa! Say #Yiakl!
“Every year 16-17 years old children have been going to Sawa. This violates international treaties and national laws. Namely: Un Convention on the Right of the Child, Eritrean Proclamation on NS and Ministry of Education Policy.”- @SamuelTsegai1#EndHighSchoolInSawa#Eritrea
As that time of year approaches again in #Eritrea , where high school students, some still kids, are forced to leave home and are funnelled into the country's abusive national service, important campaign by former Sawa students/ recruits calling for this to end.
I know a mother who had a girl and a boy. The girl went to sawa with us. Sadly, She didn't survive the 1st week of taelim. The mother almost lost it. Last time I heard, she left the country in fear that they will also take her only SON. THE MOTHER WAS AN ERITREAN FREEDOM FIGHTER
“Instead of focusing on my academic status, I was made to fetch wood and rocks to no apparent use or importance to me, my colleagues, Sawa or the nation as a whole.” - @snnoraa

"Women are even treated worse. You don't even get the decency to be called by your pronouns. The moment you enter Sawa, you're addressed as a male. You no longer are a "she" but a "he". You feel like your gender is devalued" - @MWeldai.
