By: Habiba Cooper Diallo  NEW YORK, I spoke at the Guineans Succeeding in America's 1st Annual Women's Conference, held on March 16th in New York. I presented on obstetric fistula: causes, treatment and prevention and let community members know how they can help end it. I also attended sessions at the UN Commission on the Status of Women, a week long event that welcomed delegations, gender equality advocates and NGO's from all over the world. I caught up with members of the UN Campaign to End Fistula and presented my book to them. It was great fun and learning. Congrats to the team of Guineans Succeeding in America for their efforts.

By: Habiba Cooper Diallo  ACCRA, In December, I travelled to Ghana with members of my team to visit obstetric fistula treatment centres and meet with organizations working to end fistula in the country. Upon exiting the chic Kotoka International Airport, I was tickled by Accra’s warm, humid air, as cheerful chatter rang in my ear. We later drove off into an energetic night, characterized by Afrobeat music, high-rises, Shoprite, hawkers, and plantain chips.
