A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH

Leading women including Yoko Ono, Gwyneth Paltrow and Dame Judi Dench are urging the wives of world leaders to take action to stop mothers dying during childbirth:

Dear G8 First Ladies (and First Man),

Every minute of every day a woman dies in pregnancy. That's half a million women dying each year; over 80% of these days are avoidable. This is inexcusable and it has to stop now. Your partners can help do this. We write to you, women to women (and, with respect, also to you Herr Sauer), on behalf of all women – please do what you can to put this issue at the top of the political agenda. These shameful statistics have remained unchanged for 20 years.

At this year's G8 we insist on a breakthrough. Please, do what you can to help make it happen.
On behalf of us all. With urgent best wishes,
