Motherhood Join us as we take an intimate peek in the lives of young women as they share their views about motherhood today. Halima in Ethiopia had her first child at 16, and wonders whether she will have money to send her girl to school. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, 37 year old Lois starts her first round of injections for infertility, hoping one day to have a family. We dedicate the next four months to a worldwide campaign to promote safer motherhood worldwide. Every year, 530,000 women die from preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth, and over 20 million are seriously injured. Help us raise awareness about solutions to this grave problem. What is your experience of motherhood? Does being a mother complete you—or is it one of many things that gives you satisfaction? What does it mean to decide not to be a mother? What’s better—a natural birth or a hospitalized one? How do young women who have no access to medical deal with the severe physical risk of childbirth? Join the conversation. |
