Make mums matter
In Malawi, pregnancy and childbirth is a matter of life and death. One in 36 women die in childbirth compared to one in 4,600 in the UK.
Background
On 11 July 2012 the UK Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will host a groundbreaking summit to cut in half the current number of women and girls in the world’s poorest countries without access to contraception, but who wish to avoid pregnancy or space their children.
Every woman and girl deserves the opportunity to to determine her own future. Contraceptives give the world's poorest women the power to decide if and when to have another child.
