Trends in maternal mortality
Trends in maternal mortality
The estimates on maternal mortality presented in this report are the sixth in a series of exercises by the United Nations agencies. Considering that only a third of countries are characterized as having a complete civil registration system with good attribution of cause of death, it is imperative that countries with incomplete civil .registration systems take steps to strengthen those systems. This will tremendously improve the estimation of maternal mortality and monitoring of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5: Improve maternal health. The two targets for assessing MDG 5 are reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) by three quarters between 1990 and 2015, and achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015. -

Women’s and children’s rights
Women’s and children’s rights
'Gender equality and the protection of human rights, especially of children and those most vulnerable, are fundamental principles of the United Nations. These rights cut across all aspects of the UN’s work and are crucial to long-term progress, including achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. .Yet in our compartmentalized world, the rights of women and those of children have often been promoted in isolation from one another. Separate international treaties have been forged and specialized UN agencies, government ministries and non-governmental organizations created for whom women or children are the primary focus. The purpose of this advocacy booklet is to explore the human rights links between these two groups, the practical implications of considering them together, and four areas for strategic action.' -

Achieving women's economic and social rights
In 2005, the Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) asked over 50 activists working in diverse settings all over the world what strategies they found most useful in their efforts to improve economic and social rights for women, what were the greatest challenges they were encountering in their work, and if the economic, social and cultural rights framework actually fulfill its promise in presenting them with a new and more effective approach to their work. This report synthesises and analyses some important examples and lessons that emerged through this process.- Creator

Global plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive 2011-2015
Global plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive 2011-2015
'This Global Plan provides the foundation for country-led movement towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children and keeping their mothers alive. This plan covers all low- and middle-income countries, but focuses on the 22 countries with the highest estimated numbers of pregnant women living with HIV. Exceptional global and national efforts are needed in these countries that are home to nearly 90% of pregnant women living with HIV in need of services. Intensified efforts are also needed to support countries with low HIV prevalence and concentrated epidemics to reach out to all women and children at risk of HIV with the services that they need.' -
