Every
day we hear about the dangers of cancer, heart disease and AIDS. But how many
of us realize that, in much of the world, the act of giving life to a child is
still the biggest killer of women of child-bearing age?
The
message of our campaign is "Make every mother and child count". This campaign
is not just about health. It is also a powerful call for radical progress in women's
rights and the rights of their children. Too often, the health of mothers and
children does not count. In too many parts of the world, they are forgotten.
