Natalia Imbruglia is leading a campaign to help women suffering from post-pregnancy injuries.
ITV reported that the singer and former Neighbours actress is voicing her concern for women suffering from obstetric fistula in Ethiopia and Nigeria. Young women with the condition suffer constant pain and can become incontinent, and are often rejected by society and cast out by their families.
Imbruglia aims to help such women manage alone, and made a series of visits to Nigeria and Ethiopia to see the terrible conditons they live in. There are surgical procedures to lessen their suffering, but they are are very costly. Imbruglia, 31, is inviting the public to join in her campaign for better treatment. |
