Safe Birth Even Here

calendar_today28 January 2022

1/7

Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 800 women around the world died every day from pregnancy-related causes. For each one of these deaths, another 20 to 30 women suffered acute or chronic illness or disabilities from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.

The Nairobi Summit in November 2019 was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), at which non-state actors made $8 billion in financial commitments to support the full implementation of the Programme of Action, including ending preventable maternal deaths. A High-Level Commission was established on 17 September 2020, tasked with keeping the 1,300 commitments made at the Nairobi Summit on track as COVID-19 threatened to turn back the clock on maternal health.

The Safe Birth Even Here campaign is aimed at raising public awareness of the alarming rate of maternal deaths in emergency and humanitarian settings and increasing support for protecting the rights of women and girls living in these precarious environments. This photo gallery is a snapshot of maternal health in humanitarian settings in the midst of the pandemic, highlighting the urgency of reducing maternal mortality through greater investments and maintaining the momentum of the Nairobi Summit.
