Humla, Nov. 9: Street dramas in several communities across Humla are raising awareness about the importance of regular checkups during pregnancy and giving birth at a health facility to protect both mother and newborns. 
Drama facilitator and Youth Club member Aiton Rawal said the performance placed particular emphasis on the need for pregnant women to attend at least eight antenatal checkups. The drama also showed how mothers and newborns can face serious risks when pregnant women miss regular checkups, do not seek advice from health workers, or give birth at home—practices that continue in some communities, Rawal said. The performance drew attention to local superstitions, harmful beliefs, and gaps in health awareness, while encouraging pregnant women to seek regular care and deliver at a health facility. 
A Deuda song helped connect the drama with local life and make its message more engaging. Street dramas, Deuda competitions, public speaking, and art exhibitions are among the activities being used to raise awareness in remote settlements and challenge social evils, superstition, and discrimination.
