Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu: Join the battle to eradicate VVF
Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, UICC President-Elect of 2024-2026, shared a post on X
“Visited the VVF facility in Kebbi few weeks ago, to offer my support to women battling this preventable condition caused by poor maternal care.
Northern Nigeria bears 80% of VVF burden—12,000 new cases yearly. 1 in 10 women have risk factors, and only 1 in 3 has access to skilled birth care.
These women endure pain, stigma, and abandonment, but healing is possible. Many go through this cycle twice. We MUST act by raising awareness, funding treatment, and improving our healthcare system.
Watch this documentary— Dry, from Raise Foundation on youtube and join the battle to eradicate VVF.
Every woman deserves dignity, healing, and hope.”
