Poverty Is Sexist

Today, at least one million women in Africa and Asia needlessly suffer from untreated fistula.

They are women like Everlyn, from Zambia.

While giving birth at home in her village, Everlyn experienced obstructed labor for two days—without access to medical help. As a result, she suffered a childbirth injury known as obstetric fistula, which left her incontinent, humiliated, and shunned by her community. She leaked urine uncontrollably for the next 27 years of her life.

Did you know?

Obstetric fistula ranks as one of humanity’s most disabling injuries—but it can be cured by a surgery that costs $598.

The good news: A single cost-effective surgery can restore a woman’s health.
