International Women's Day 2014: Voices From the Field | MSF USA

 Taghry and Masaya, along with six children,
were among the 15,000 people who fled the conflict in Mali in January
2013 and sought safety in neighboring Mauritania. They arrived with
nothing other than the clothes on their backs and are now completely
dependent on humanitarian aid….On arriving in Bassikounou, an
ultrasound confirmed Taghry was pregnant with quadruplets. The MSF
medical team made the quick decision to perform a caesarean section.
Taghry gave birth to three small but healthy boys and one healthy girl.
At first, they are simply called Baby 1, 2, 3 and 4. Today is
International Women's Day. Today and every day, thousands of women
worldwide will leave their homes to flee war or persecution. The fact
that they are women makes their ordeal even more harrowing. Read this
