International Day To End Obstetric Fistula : 23 May |
Women's
rights are human rights! End fistula now! This problem is preventable with the correct medical assistance and its occurrence is a violation of human rights and a reminder of gross inequities. The theme for this year is “Women's rights are human rights! End fistula now!” We must put an end to the obstetric fistula as a critical step towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and realizing the promise of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action as well as the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development. Both plans are oriented to fight for women’s rights, including the sexual and reproductive health. In order to reach this goal, the UN Population Fund has launched an updated manual that serves as a crucial resource and a guiding light on the path to achieving health, gender equality and human rights for all.

by 2030 Obstetric fistula is preventable; it can largely be avoided by delaying the age of first pregnancy; the cessation of harmful traditional practices; and timely access to obstetric care. Unfortunately, the current pandemic affects all these preventive measures in developing countries where obstetric fistula still exists. More women and girls will be at risk of obstetric fistula due to overburdened health systems. In addition, fistula repairs have widely been suspended as they are deemed to be non-urgent and hospitals have diverted resources to care for patients with COVID-19. Besides, it is expected that 13 million more child marriages could take place by 2030 than would have otherwise. Families are more likely to marry off daughters to alleviate the perceived burden of caring for them, especially in the anticipated economic fallout of the pandemic. Due to all these reasons an increase in cases might occur and new strategies will be required in the post-COVID-19 recovery period to address the expected backlog of cases. With this possible
future scenario of preventive measures in danger, now more than
ever, it is important to call on the international community to
use the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula to significantly
raise awareness and intensify actions towards ending obstetric fistula,
as well as urging post-surgery follow-up and tracking of fistula
patients. |
