Ethiopia: Hope for women

In Ethiopia, thousands of women each year are left with injuries following childbirth, which, for the most part, go untreated. As the problems get worse, the women are shunned by husbands and families, cast out of villages and left to depend on charity. Their condition is not life-threatening, and would be easily patched up in Britain but, in one of the poorest countries of the world, leave women scarred for life.
