The battle against forced marriage and child marriages

In many regions, girls are still being married off as minors against their will. This practice, which is a gross breach of human rights, has serious consequences for their level of education and their physical and mental health. The girls concerned are often subject to physical violence. Teenage pregnancies bear a greater risk of birth complications and the development of obstetric fistula. Women's Hope is committed to fighting against child marriages.

Professional supervision during pregnancy and childbirth

Every other minute, a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth! Most deaths of women and children could be prevented. Women’s Hope International is committed to breaking down the high hurdles to good healthcare that exist for pregnant women in Africa and Asia. This includes training young women as midwives, the construction of birth clinics and carrying out measures to raise awareness in the general population.

Holistic health for girls and women with birth injuries

We are committed to the identification, treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration of women and girls with obstetric fistula. Affected women can overcome the physical, psychological, social and economic consequences of their suffering and lead a dignified life again.
