    "content": "Fistula occurs among women who give birth without proper medical care, coupled with some traditional practice such as FGM and early marriages. This is an issue that is very common in areas like Isiolo County where I come from, where women have to trek kilometres to access even a small health centre. Given that health is a devolved function, two sessions down the line, we are yet to see the benefits of devolution in the county. Therefore, women keep on suffering. The county I represent of Isiolo is one of the counties that are generally not very receptive to women issues because of its traditional setup. When women suffer from fistula, they are completely ignored, stigmatised and isolated by the communities and their families. They are regarded as bewitched or as witches."
