This can differ significantly between continents and countries.FistulaA hole between an internal organ and the outside of the bodythat should not exist. Obstetric fistula develops when the bloodsupply to the reproductive organs is cut off during prolonged andobstructed labor. It is estimated that there are up to 100,000 newfistula cases each year and over two million women living withobstetric fistula.Female Genital MutilationFemale genital mutilation (also known as female circumcision orgenital cutting) is the removal of part or all of the external femalegenitalia, and in its most severe form, a woman or girl has all ofher genitalia removed and then stitched together, leaving a smallopening for urination, intercourse, and menstruation. This practicehas a direct effect on women and girls’ reproductive and maternalhealth and can have grave consequences during childbirth.Maternal death/mortalityThe death of a woman during or shortly after a pregnancy, or within42 days of the termination of a pregnancy.
