| Description |
To set the stage for the reduction of maternal mortality rates globally, the problem first needs to be explained with supporting data. The article by Brown et al explains the trends in maternal mortality and understanding the problem globally. The articles provided by the Global poverty report (2002) and by Hollander (2010) are the foundation of the Millennium Development Goals stating that maternal mortality is indeed a problem and introduce strategies for governments and non-governmental organizations to begin tackling this problem. The articles listed here by multiple authors provide data and supporting points of interest to the leading causes, lack of funding, and lack of medical treatments/facilities available to the words most vulnerable population. These articles are similar in that they describe the abuses that girls in lower income homes within impoverished countries face including lack of education and early marriage. Marriage is often the only choice an impoverished family has for young girls when they are unable to provide for their children anymore due to lack of monetary means. The article developed by the United Nations Population Fund establishes the connection between gender, reproductive health and population within countries struggling to find ways to improve maternal mortality rates. |
