International Day to End Obstetric Fistula
This Saturday, May 23rd marks the United Nations International Day to End Obstetric Fistula. This year’s theme, “End fistula, restore women’s dignity,” highlights that the persistence of fistula is a stark illustration of severe inequalities and the denial of human rights and dignity. IUGA is proud of the work and continuous efforts of its members to help end obstetric fistula. For more information about the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula, please visit http://www.endfistula.org/news/international-day-end-obstetric-fistula-2015.
