The tragedy of obstetric fistula goes beyond the tissue trauma. The psychological and social trauma and consequences must also be recognized and cared for. #IDEOF #endfistula

🙅🏽‍♀️ No woman need suffer shame and rejection from obstetric fistula. With increased support and investment we can prevent this devastating condition. Join @‌UNFPA in spreading awareness to help #EndFistula: unf.pa/cef #GlobalGoals
