Abstract
Having reached the final phase of this book, I am confident that an African feminist perspective has provided the capacity to engage with complex questions affecting African women, and contributed to new knowledge in this area. Through this study, I have shown that the women’s accounts and their experiences of living with vaginal fistulas can be theorised through a feminist analysis that contributes to an overarching original knowledge in the area of vaginal fistulas, gender, and health and sexuality of African women . More importantly, this book will provide an impetus for a better response to the needs of African women who have been living with vaginal fistulas or other related conditions. As such, it is essentially a call to end a problem that produces much shame and suffering for far too many women in Kenya and across Africa.
