Across the world, a disproportionately high pregnancy rate among young girls in rural and impoverished areas has had a profoundly negative effect on their opportunities for education, health, and long-term employment. Nine in ten births among young girls occur within marriage or a union. Girls from ethnic minorities or marginalized groups are at greater risk. In the United Nations Population Fund’s latest State of World Population report, launched at the Wilson Center, the authors analyze not only the root causes of these inequities, but also solutions.

I was in a Philippine Department of Health (DOH) government hospital for a day, I spent most of the day at the Charity Maternity Ward, and this is what I saw.
Most of the mothers here are from the low-income demography. Many are first-time mothers while some can be considered veterans. One thing is common though, all of them can not afford a regular maternity ward and doctor -- and there are so many of them! This mother can be considered lucky for she had a normal birth.

Young men in Spanish Town, Jamaica take part in social group activities such as swimming lessons as part of the “Male Awareness Now” programme run by Christian Aid partner Children First.
In poor, volatile, violent communities like Spanish Town in Jamaica it is mostly poorly educated young men with few employment prospects who turn to crime and gang warfare.
By working with young men aged between 10 and 24, the Male Awareness Now programme is helping to break this cycle by changing attitudes and showing them that there are alternatives to violence. Participants in the programme learn about conflict resolution, sexual health and gender as well as practical vocational skills like barbering or IT.

Female condoms are important because they allow women to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and STIs [sexually transmitted infections].

Across the developing world, some 70 million girls under the age of 18 are married. Most of these girls have been taken out of school, are pregnant or parenting, and face a greater risk of being a victim of gender-based violence and contracting sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. While we know of their risks, there is much that we do not know about the daily lives of these girls or how to better meet their health care needs.
Join USAID’s Office of HIV/AIDS, the International Center for Research on Women, CARE, and Pathfinder International as they present findings on their work with married adolescent girls living in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, West Africa, and other low-resource regions.

Marcelle is 16 years old. Her older sister was subjected to Female Genital Mutilation at the age of 12. However, thanks to health education classes run by Christian Aid partner COC Bless, this practice has been completely eradicated in her village in Egypt and Marcelle did not have to undergo the process. She feels relieved that it will never happen to her and hopes to go on to university after she finishes school.
Putting face to statistics: WRA Uganda's Faridah Luyiga Mwanje also shared the painful story of her sister’s death at IHK due to negligence. Faridah called upon the government to ensure quality of care at health facilities through: proper training of health workers to treat and manage complications, proper supervision, provision of medicines and supplies and upholding the rights of childbearing women to ensure respectful maternity care.
The Movement to End Maternal Deaths demands urgent action by govt to save mothers and newborns during pregnancy and childbirth.
On May 15, White Ribbon Alliance and partners under the The Movement to End Maternal Deaths in Uganda held a press conference and later marched to International Hospital Kampala (IHK), demanding urgent intervention by government to end the needless deaths of mothers and newborns during pregnancy, childbirth and the immediate period after birth.
This follows the continued deaths of mothers at various health facilities across the country and most recently, the death of a women’s rights advocate, Ms Nuliat Nambaziira at International Hospital Kampala on May 4th, 2018, from complications after delivery.
Sheila Kawamara, the Executive Director EAASI, where Nuliat worked said they are taking legal action to ensure justice for Nuliat. After the press conference, members marched to IHK to show their displeasure.
The Movement to End Maternal Deaths calls upon the government of Uganda to:
(1) Conduct maternal death audits and publish reports of all health facilities, including public and privately-run institutions to ensure that they have adequate facilities and personnel to handle pregnant women, mothers and babies at birth;
(2) Discipline negligent health workers by withdrawing practicing certificates from incompetent health practitioners that have caused deaths or maimed mothers out of negligence;
(3) Increase resourcing for maternal health and post midwives and doctors to rural hospitals to improve service delivery.
(4) Increase monitoring and inspection of private and government health facilities to address the critical issues affecting women for instance lack of essential materials.

The Male Awareness Now (MAN) project has been supported by Christian Aid through partner Children First. The project works in Spanish Town - an area of Kingston where gun violence is rampant – with young men, at risk of getting involved in gangs.
Part of the project involves training young men in skills such as computer repairs, photography and barbering – skills which they can then use to get a job.
In this photo, Occardo Phillips cuts his friend Ricardo's hair. "I am good at barbering. It's a nice trade to learn… I just start to love it when I'm doing it."
