Pro-Life – Pregnancy Crisis

Ms Leoum Jessica Shetty

WALKING WITH WOMEN IN CRISIS

What is it like to work as a counsellor at Pregnancy Helpline India? In your experience, who are the people you encounter?
While information is certainly part of the work, what stays with me are not the questions. It is the people behind them. Every call brings a different story. Sometimes it is a college student who is terrified about what her parents will say. Sometimes it is a married woman who feels she cannot afford another child. Sometimes it is someone who has been carrying a secret for weeks and has no one she feels safe talking to.
