Postcard From Zanzibar

In Zanzibar:

• For Rukia Shabiby, a radio ad changed her life. After two decades of living in shame, Shabiby heard of a hospital offering free surgeries for obstetric fistula. She returned to Zanzibar as an ambassador for the program for other women.
• Violence against women is on the rise despite repeated information campaigns.
• The city hosted its sixth judo championship.
• A commission meets to discuss saving this island from the worst effects of climate change.
