Women with fistula live in a state of perpetual crisis. Their world is shattered by the trauma, strain, and symptoms of their injury. Many have nowhere to turn and most will never access care or support.
This International Women’s Day, amplify our demand for an acceleration of progress.
Today, we join with our global community and raise our voices to advocate for action in the fight to end this injustice.
Join us as we strive to build a world where every woman is treated with compassion and has the opportunity to live a full, healthy, and happy life.

What is obstetric fistula?
Obstetric fistula is a medical term for a hole that develops between the vagina and the bladder and/or rectum and is caused by prolonged pressure on those tissues during an obstructed labour.
