UN works to end obstetric fistula
Every year some
50,000-100,000 women sustain an
obstetric fistula while giving birth.
Unless offered surgery, this
internal tearing results in the mother
leaking urine + faeces uncontrollably, which often leads to them being ostracised by those around them...
However, for as little as
$60 this ailment can be
treated, and the lives of sufferers transformed for the better...

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is doing to
end fistula and make
motherhood safer for women.
