Objective:
1 woman dies every minute in pregnancy or childbirth. This Mother's Day let's act to show that mothers matter!
Around the world, one woman dies every minute in pregnancy or childbirth -- that's more than half a million women every year. The vast majority of these deaths are preventable. As Mahmoud Fathalla, past president of the International Federation of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said:
"Women are not dying of diseases we can't treat. ... They are dying because societies have yet to make the decision that their lives are worth saving."
This Mother's Day let's get the word out that mothers matter! Check back on this event for a full list of actions you can take to help mothers and mothers-to-be.
