LANCET - WOMEN DELIVER
Executive
Summary
Large
numbers of the public remain unaware of the health issues facing women and
children. Women and girls make up 60% of the world’s poorest and two-thirds of
the world’s illiterate. Yet with education and empowerment, they can lead
healthy lives and lift themselves and their families out of poverty. To devise
a plan to make women and children’s health more visible, we must listen harder

Too often we ignore these voices. A themed issue of The
Lancet covers a range of global issues on maternal, child, and newborn
