Women’s Dignity seeks to enable citizens - particularly marginalized girls and women – to realize their basic right to health. We support citizens to access and use information to promote their rights; to influence greater equity in the allocation of public resources; and to monitor if policies, programs and services are making a difference in the lives of vulnerable people. We hold a particular commitment to ensuring the dignity and rights of girls and women living with obstetric fistula.

Women’s Dignity believes that girls and women have the right to live without fear of death or disability in childbirth, and to be cured of fistula when it occurs. We also believe that all people living in poverty have the right to affordable, accessible and high quality health care so that conditions like fistula - and others affecting the poor - cease to exist. Women’s Dignity works in close collaboration with communities, health care providers, human rights advocates, governments and donors to promote these rights.

Women's Dignity is located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and works on local, regional and international levels.
