Dear Friends,
We were overwhelmed with the support for our last Webinar entitled Safe Birth 4 All and we extend a sincere thanks to all of you who attended, posed questions and indeed who took the time to make contact with us afterwards. As we promised during the webinar we are forwarding the recording of the event, broken down into it's constituent parts for ease of viewing. We welcome your attention and sharing of the content below. Indeed it is part of our call to action that was shared with all by Lara Kelly in the final clip.
This event builds on a public launch of Safe Birth 4 All Campaign that was launched in Dublin with the aim of bringing an end to a preventable condition that affects up to two million women and girls around the world. The campaign, SafeBirth4All, was launched ahead of International Day to End Obstetric Fistula. (see Tablet article below).
You can follow details of this campaign on their Facebook Page HERE
It is our plan to build on this campaign into the future in later webinars and if you think that you might be able to help with this then we would dearly love to hear from you on aefjnireland@gmail.com
If it was the case that you had registered to attend this webinar, and then found that you couldn't be with us, then this recording is especially for you and we would urge that you watch it with others if possible, and then to discuss the call to action that we propose at the end of the webinar.
Thanks for your kind attendance and attention.
