Every two minutes, somewhere in the world, a woman dies while giving life, and most of these deaths are preventable.
In many parts of the world today, childbirth remains one of the most dangerous experiences a woman can face. Maternal mortality is not simply a medical issue; it is a measure of women's empowerment, rights, and equity. Until the global community treats safe childbirth as a fundamental right rather than a privilege determined by geography or income, this crisis will persist.

The Scale of the Problem
At the peak of recorded maternal mortality in the early 1990s, an estimated 500,000 women died each year from pregnancy- or childbirth-related complications, according to the World Health Organization's Maternal Mortality Fact Sheet. Today, that number has declined to roughly 260,000 annually; this is significant progress, yet far from acceptable. The burden remains overwhelmingly concentrated in low- and middle-income countries. In developed countries, around 10 women die per 100,000 live births; in less developed countries, the figure rises to approximately 346 per 100,000. These disparities are not simply statistical gaps. They reflect structural inequalities in access to skilled birth attendants, emergency obstetric care, and financial protection, gaps that determine if women can safely exercise their most fundamental right: the right to survive childbirth.

By the powerful network of volunteers, hospitals and NGOs, numerous community outreaches have been organized to spread the information of the possibility to get free treatment and have the right on a save childbirth.
