No language left behind – global awareness of surgical mesh harm

1 January 2026

We’re launching No Language Left Behind: a global campaign to break down language barriers and ensure that every woman affected by mesh complications can access information, support, and justice.

Language barriers leave many without access to vital information, support, or justice. That’s why we’re launching the campaign to ensure mesh complications are recognised and addressed everywhere, regardless of language.

Why This Campaign Is Urgent

Mesh manufacturers are aggressively targeting countries where English isn’t widely spoken, particularly across Southeast Asia and other regions. These women are often the most vulnerable – lacking translated resources, legal guidance, and advocacy networks. This is not just a health issue; it’s a global equity issue.

What We’ve Done

Thanks to work colleagues, mesh harmed women, friends and family we have translated our core blog into 21 languages covering most of the world’s major spoken languages. This ensures women everywhere can access the truth about mesh harm and join the fight for accountability.

The blogs highlight the importance of caution when interpreting scientific literature on mesh and focuses on a recent flimsy piece of evidence being used to aggressively market mesh products worldwide.

Our Mission

Raise awareness globally: No woman should suffer in silence because of language.
Empower communities: Provide multilingual resources for patients, families, and advocates.
Highlight risks when doctors won’t: Bring attention to the impact of mesh marketing

The Bigger Picture

This campaign is about justice without borders. When we break down language barriers, we dismantle the systems that allow harm to flourish unchecked. Together, we can ensure that no woman, regardless of country, race, or language, is left behind.
