This Saturday is the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of women and girls develop fistula, a childbirth injury that is both preventable and treatable.

But for many, access to care comes too late—or not at all.

Access to contraception remains out of reach for too many. Around 257 million women still have unmet family planning needs, and 45% of abortions are not safe.

Midwives are key to closing this gap. They can deliver 90% of essential sexual and reproductive health services — but the world is one million midwives short.
