Summary: In Bangladesh 3 women die every hour due to complications —often preventable — of pregnancy and childbirth. Yet the veil of silence surrounding maternal deaths is only starting to break as the millennium nears: Women are finally speaking out on their right to maternal health care. But unless reducing maternal mortality comes as a movement from within society as a whole little real progress can be made. Includes a statement from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and testimonies from Bangladeshi women. |
