Each year as many as 45,000 Indian women die needlessly during pregnancy and childbirth, official estimates place India’s Maternal Maternity Ratio (MMR) at 167 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. On the eve of Safe Motherhood Day (10 April, 2015), White Ribbon Alliance- a prominent alliance of NGOs working on women and children';s health around the world-  is organising a media interaction to send out the message that every woman has a right to live and survive pregnancy and childbirth, and this can be achieved through citizen engagement.  

This year';s theme ‘Nothing About Us Without Us’ - Citizens participation and engagement for improving women’s and children’s health  aims at reinforcing the demands for clear and standardized mechanisms and follow through for citizens’ engagement vis-à-vis policies, schemes and programs on women’s and children’s health.


We look forward to your participation.
