Last year Sabina, a teenaged housewife in Korunia, Bangladesh, was able to give birth to a healthy son because of World Renew’s maternal and child health programs. Today, we celebrate success stories like hers as we remember the thousands of women who die or are injured during childbirth and delivery each year. May 23 is the second International Day to End Obstetric Fistula—an injury that can occur when childbirth is prolonged, obstructed, or in Sabina’s case, the mother is too young physically to give birth safely. The birth canal tears, creating a hole into the rectum or bladder. The tear leaves the woman incontinent—and often results not only a lifelong disability but also ostracism from her family and community.
