ENSURING SAFE MOTHERHOOD
        Safe motherhood means ensuring that all women
    have access to the information and services they need
    to go safely through pregnancy and
    childbirth. It includes :
•   Education on safe motherhood
•   Prenatal care
•   Promotion of maternal nutrition
•   Adequate delivery assistance in all cases
•   Provisions for obstetric emergencies including referral
    services for pregnancy, childbirth and
    abortion complications
•   Postnatal care.

SUPPORT FOR SAFE
   MOTHERHOOD INITIATIVES
Safe Motherhood Day‟ which is observed on the
11th of April every year, was marked by two
events in India, in which UNICEF played a key
role.
 The Government of India in collaboration with
The White Ribbon Alliance (WRAI) for Safe
Motherhood (of which UNICEF is an active
member), organized a national stakeholders‟
meeting, in the capital Delhi, to discuss the
pressing priorities in relation to women‟s health.
Dr. Marzio Babille, Chief of Health for
UNICEF India, who took part in the
national stakeholders meeting, said the
country‟s focus should be on a life-cycle
approach to women‟s health. He said,
UNICEF believes in addressing women
during their adolescence, when
reproductive and other lifestyle
behaviours set the stage for later life.
EVENT OF SAFE MOTHERHOOD DAY
•    UNICEF in partnership
    with the World Health
    Organisation (WHO) and
    the Health Fitness Trust
    organised an „Awareness
    Run‟, also in Delhi, for
    school children on issues
    relating to safe
    motherhood.
• White Ribbon Alliance for
  Safe Motherhood of India, an
  alliance committed towards
  increasing public awareness
  on preventing maternal deaths
  is organizing the Aakhir Kyon
  Concert on 26thMarch, 2012
  at Amphitheatre, India Habitat
  Centre, New Delhi where
  Shubha Mudgal will release a
  special song dedicated to Safe
  Motherhood. Birth is life how
  can this be allowed to be the
  cause of death? Especially
  when most of such deaths are
  so easily preventable
• School of Public Health,
  PGIMER in
  collaboration with
  Chandigarh Health
  Administration
  celebrated “Safe
  Motherhood Day” at
  their Maternal and Child
  Health centre at
  Polyclinic, Sector-45
  today with about 100
  pregnant and lactating
  mothers.
• About 100,000 deaths occur
  annually in India from causes
  related to pregnancy and
  childbirth. In Orissa, the
  maternal mortality rate (MMR)
  is about 303 while the national
  average is 254, states a new
  report released by „Deliver Now
  for Women and Children‟
  campaign.
      Members from the White
  Ribbon Alliance
  for Safe Motherhood(WRAI)
  and Partnership of Maternal,
  Newborn and Child
  Health (PMNCH) had launched
  a national campaign last year on
  April 11, with special focus on
  Orissa.
• Nagaland observes Safe
  Motherhood Day
     Putting effort to spread
  awareness on saving
  mothers‟ lives, „Safe
  Motherhood Day‟ was
  launched globally in 1997
  to promote, increase public
  awareness on the need to
  make pregnancy and
  childbirth safe for all
  women and newborns,
  especially in developing
  countries.
• WRA Indonesia and the Women Caucus
  Parliament of the Republic of Indonesia (KPP-
  RI) successfully hosted a seminar on “Strategic
  Position and Commitment of the Parliament
  Members for Safe Motherhood.” The
  integrated approach toward safe motherhood is
  not only to include mother‟s health during
  pregnancy, childbirth and the post partum
  period, but also child health, especially during
  the first day of a child's life, and emphasizing
  exclusive breast feeding.
LIFE CYCLE APPROACH OF WOMEN
• Reproductive health is a lifetime concern for both
  women and men, from infancy to old age. In many
  cultures, the discrimination against girls and women
  that begins in infancy can determine the trajectory of
  their lives.
      The important issues of education and appropriate
  health care arise in childhood and adolescence. These
  continue to be issues in the reproductive years, along
  with family planning, sexually transmitted diseases and
  reproductive tract infections, adequate nutrition and
  care in pregnancy, and the social status of women and
  concerns about cervical and breast cancer.
Critical messages for different life stages
   In its advocacy and programming, UNFPA
 focuses on key messages that can empower
 both women and men at different stages of their
 lives.
Girls and boys
• Inform and empower girls to delay pregnancy
  until they are physically and emotionally
  mature.
• Inspire and motivate boys and men to be
  sexually responsible partners and value
  daughters equally as sons.
• Encourage governments to take responsibility
  for the human catastrophe of orphans and other
  children who live in the streets.
Adolescents
• Reorient health education and services to meet the
  diverse needs of adolescents. Integrated reproductive
  health education and services for young people should
  include family planning information, and counselling
  on gender relations, STDs and HIV/AIDS, sexual abuse
  and reproductive health.
• Ensure that health care programmes and providers'
  attitudes allow for adolescents' access to the services
  and information they need.
• Support efforts to eradicate female genital cutting and
  other harmful practices, including early or forced
  marriage, sexual abuse, and trafficking of adolescents
  for forced labour, marriage or commercial sex.
• Socialize and motivate boys and young men to show
  respect and responsibility in sexual relations.
Adulthood
• Improve communication between men and women on
  issues of sexuality and reproductive health.
• Enable women to exercise their right to control their
  own fertility and their right to make decisions
  concerning reproduction and discrimination and
  violence.
• Improve the quality and availability of reproductive
  health services and barriers to access.
• Make emergency obstetric care available to all women
  who experience complications in their pregnancies.
• Encourage men's responsibility for sexual and
  reproductive behaviour and increase male participation
  in family planning.
The older years
• Reorient and strengthen health care services to
  better meet the needs of older women.
• Support outreach by women's NGOs to help
  older women in the community to better
  understand the importance of girls' education,
  reproductive rights and sexual health so that
  they may become effective transmitters of this
  knowledge.
