A health leader wants help to fight a harmful substance among women. Rohey Sey Corr from Mothers Health Foundation told The Voice that Taba poses bigger health risks than female genital cutting or violence against women. She calls it a quiet epidemic harming many women who have already gone through genital cutting. Medical experts say the substance can cause cancer despite users claiming it replaces lost pleasure.

Teenagers and young women keep using more Taba, with many becoming addicted. The problem tears families apart as both men and women suffer. Corr said one husband beat his wife and left her because of her Taba addiction. Her group has worked for nearly six years without money from the government or international groups. She runs a registered organization working with health, education, and gender offices but receives no national funding.

Corr asked the government, partners, and businesses to provide financial support for what she sees as a national emergency. She sent samples to America for further testing. She wants religious figures and community leaders to speak up against Taba use. Her message stresses that everyone must take responsibility to address this crisis immediately.
