Thanks for this article Kate!! Really interesting!
Thanks for sharing this Video. I feel like sometimes we are inundated with statistics about maternal health issues, but this is a wonderful, visual representation of the various perspectives around the world. I really appreciate the various strategies they mention to mitigate the situation for mother’s around the world.
It makes me grateful for all the hard work my own mother did while I was growing up. Although we live in one of the best places to be a mother, I know she worked hard to give me the best opportunities.
Happy Mother’s Day, to all the mother’s around the world who overcome obstacles and barriers in giving their children the best life they can! We are nothing, without you.
Incredibly eye-opening documentary that certainly puts things into perspective for me as a mother in Europe.
It’s all the more infuriating to see how women’s inferior status, i.e. ideas of their uncleanliness, their lack of control of home finances, etc. contributes to maternal mortality rates.
