07/10/2009: Women Deliver Conference 2010

The first Women Deliver conference in 2007 put MDG5 on the international development agenda. Now, the Women Deliver team is thinking about a second conference, Delivering solutions for girls and women: political, economic, social/cultural, and technical to secure the commitments to ensure that MDGs 5, 4, 3, and 6 are met by 2015. This second conference will likely be held in Washington DC, symbolizing the return of the United States as a strong partner in making maternal and reproductive health a global priority.

Saving Lives

Up to half a million women and three million newborn babies die each year in pregnancy and childbirth or soon afterwards, the majority of them in Africa and South Asia. For every woman who dies at least twenty more suffer complications which leave them with lifelong disability and pain.

Our unique programmes are saving the lives of mothers and babies every day. We need you to help us to equip women with their most vital survival tool: knowledge.
