Niger has the highest fertility rate in the world. It's estimated that around 50 million couples worldwide experience infertility issues.
In many cultures women are held responsible when a couple experiences difficulties to conceive. This social pressure can often lead to women being shunned, their husbands taking additional wives or even result in divorce. Childless women, often seen as a burden, are stigmatised and often face discrimination.
