Female genital mutilation (FGM) causes a range of health problems for many women and girls in Africa. In Kenya alone, more than 3,000 women suffer from obstetric fistula every year, and many do not have the insurance or financial means to pay for corrective surgery. Because of the strong smell caused by uncontrolled urine and/or stool, many women face isolation as they cannot go to the market, or join other social activities in their community. This is a very painful experience as sometimes husbands marry another woman and these poor women are left alone as ‘outcasts’.
