By: Habiba Cooper Diallo The Fistula and Empowerment Program (FEP) has officially commenced! Today was the very first day it took place. What is FEP you ask?
It is a fistula education and empowerment program I started to educate young African-descended women living in Halifax, Canada, about obstetric fistula and how it relates to the overarching theme of women’s empowerment not only in Africa, but also to their own self-empowerment as Black women living in Canada who have unique, and often marginalized, health experiences.
