on the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula 根除产科瘘国际日致辞

Pregnant women have a great deal
to look forward to: the miracle of birth, meeting their children, raising them
into adulthood. While we may prefer to
focus on these happy outcomes, we should also confront the fact that serious
risks make this journey a perilous one for those who lack access to proper
medical care.
孕妇都有着许许多多的期待：婴儿诞生那神奇一刻、初见孩子时的喜悦之情、以及把孩子抚养成人的幸福憧憬。虽然我们可能更愿意向往这些美好的结果，但也应面对一个事实，即对缺乏适当医护的孕妇而言，生儿育女的过程存在着巨大风险，因而是一次危险的旅程。
Three million women now live with
a condition that develops during childbirth and can have debilitating
consequences for decades. Obstetric
fistula, which occurs during prolonged or difficult labour, is now rare in the
industrialized world but still all too common in poorer countries where
inadequate medical care and stigma combine to turn a preventable condition into
a devastating one.
现在，有三百万名妇女患有分娩过程导致的产科瘘病症，其破坏性后果可长达数十年之久。产科瘘是因分娩时间过长或难产而导致的一种病症，在工业化国家已很罕见，但在穷国却仍很常见。在贫穷国家，由于医疗条件不足，而且存在耻辱化现象，这一本可预防的病症往往竟成灭顶之灾。
Women with obstetric fistula
sometimes die in shame abandoned by their families and often suffer lifelong
physical and emotional effects – but there is hope. Skilled professionals know how to treat
patients. With support, those who have
been ostracized can reintegrate into their societies.
患有产科瘘的妇女有时会被家人抛弃，在羞辱中死去，经常会终身遭受身心影响——不过，希望是有的。掌握了技术的专业人员知道如何治疗这种病症。因此，若能获得支持，那些受到排斥的人则可重新融入社会。
Success requires compassion,
sensitivity and above all funds. That is
why the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is teaming up with partners to
spearhead the Global Campaign to End Fistula.
要取得成功，就需要有慈悲心，有敏感性，更重要的是要有资金。这就是为什么联合国人口基金（人口基金）与伙伴们合作，发起全球根除瘘运动。
This is part of our broader
efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals and mobilize partners in the
Every Woman, Every Child initiative. The
benefits reverberate far beyond the women who are directly affected, extending
to children who will be raised by healthy mothers and communities that benefit
from their contributions.
这也是我们为实现“千年发展目标”和动员 “每个妇女每个儿童”倡议的伙伴而进行的更广泛努力的一部分。其成效将远远超出直接受影响的妇女，延伸到由健康的母亲抚养长大的孩子身上，而社区也会受益于他们的贡献。
The International Day to End
Obstetric Fistula is an important opportunity to raise awareness of a condition
that is not well-understood even in societies where it is prevalent, and much
less where it is not. The more
understanding and action we generate today, the more we can look forward to a
future where obstetric fistula is virtually unknown because it is virtually
non-existent.
根除产科瘘国际日是一个重要契机，可借以提高对这一病症的认识。目前，产科瘘即便在其多发的社会中也没有得到很好的了解，更不要说在少发的社会之中。我们今天促成的了解和行动越多，就越有希望看到产科瘘因几乎不存在而几乎不为人知的那一天。
Let us use this Day to advance this goal of helping mothers, protecting children and advancing progress for all. 让我们借助这一国际日，推进这一帮助母亲、保护儿童和为所有人促进进步的目标！ |
