Tengo el gran placer de presentar esta edición especial de la Revista Migraciones Forzadas. Este número gira en torno al impulso generado a partir del Simposio Internacional sobre Violencia de Género durante y con posterioridad a los Conflictos, convocado en junio de 2006 en Bruselas por el Fondo de Población de las Naciones Unidas (UNFPA, por sus siglas en inglés), el gobierno de Bélgica y la Comisión Europea

Kutibu majeraha, kutia matumaini: Ushirikiano wa watanzania dhidi ya fistula obstetrikia

The Bugando Medical Center, the Women’s Dignity Project, the Tanzania Midwives Association, and the government cooperated on an extensive program for surgical repair, prevention, and policy research and activities. Lessons learned: 1) Fistula programs need to address social as well as medical issues. 2) Most repairs are successful, making an enormous difference in women’s lives. 3) Relatively little funding is necessary to start up a fistula program. 4) Fistula programs are vehicles for broader conversations about gender and poverty
