Editor,Allow me to react to the interview with Rwandan woman activist Chantal Umuhoza, which was published in The New Times of Thursday. It featured a number of issues, including the ongoing debate on whether Rwanda should legalise abortion or not.

Debate on abortion is a sensitive subject anywhere in the world and it is people like you who give women a shoulder to lean on when they are faced with an extremely difficult decision to terminate their pregnancy. Women face many challenges, especially from the religious community who have no right to impose their self-righteous morals on any woman. Rwandan women are the strongest women I have ever met and they are finally realising that they can make their own decisions. Keep up the good work!Nathan RangiraKayonza
