Lillian prepares to give birth to her second child by Cesarean section at Juba Teaching Hospital
in South Sudan. The electricity temporarily went out during her operation. Still, Lillian is one of
the lucky ones. For many child brides in remote villages, Cesarean sections are not even an
option and girls must suffer through hours of obstructed labor with no access to medical
intervention. Her baby dies inside her and has to be extracted, sometimes piece by piece.
