All women deserve healthcare that lets them thrive. After surgery, we must help survivors find their place in the world again.

Treating obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury, is about more than health and dignity. It's a smart decision.

When a woman gets well, she can work to support her family, while fixing the problem saves on future medical costs.

Ending the stigma on menstrual hygiene isn’t a solo mission. It’s on all of us to bust the myths.

Stigma doesn’t just live in our silence; it lives in our policies, our schools, and our workplaces.

👉 Swipe to see how YOU can end stigma, one day at a time.

We need safe water, sanitary products and education without shame! For a #PeriodFriendlyWorld🌍
