"It is my dream, then, to create this website where women of all ages, shapes, sizes and nationalities can share images of their bodies so it will no longer be secret. So we can finally see what women really look like sans airbrushes and plastic surgery. I think it would be nothing short of amazing if a few of our hearts are healed, or if we begin to cherish our new bodies which have done so much for the human race. What if the next generation grows up knowing how normal our bodies are? How truly awesome would that be?"

The Cesarean surgery rate in India's urban areas (according to preliminary studies), is approximately 50% and is estimated to be as high as 80% or more in some private hospitals. The World Health Organization deems it should be no higher than 5 - 15%."
