Midwives: a worldwide commitment to women and the newborn

Preventing early pregnancy and poor reproductive outcomes among adolescents in developing countries aims to improve adolescent morbidity and mortality by reducing the chances of early pregnancy and its resulting poor health outcomes. The publication’s two main objectives are to: (1) identify effective interventions to prevent early pregnancy by influencing factors such as early marriage, coerced sex, unsafe abortion, access to contraceptives and access to maternal health services by adolescents; and (2) provide an analytical framework for policy-makers and programme managers to use when selecting evidence-based interventions that are most appropriate for the needs of their countries and contexts.
http://www.internationalmidwives.org/CongressesWorkshops/InternationalDayoftheMidwife/tabid/327/Default.aspx Last year member associations, midwives and their supporters around the world took to the streets with 5km walks in local communities to build commitment to tackling global inequalities in maternal and newborn mortality and to highlight local issues in midwifery service provision. Over 340,000 women die each year, with millions more suffering infection and disability as a result of preventable maternal causes. The ICM, alongside UN agencies, WHO and a range of other international partners, is committed to addressing maternal mortality and morbidity through greater access to essential midwifery care worldwide, particularly in developing countries where 90% of maternal deaths occur. This 5km walks on The International Day of the Midwife was the first stage of the 'Road to Durban' - the walk in South Africa that heraldded the start of the ICM Triennial Congress last year.

http://thecleversheep.blogspot.com/2010/12/bringing-infographics-to-life.html In a world that often finds itself awash in a sea of data, it's no surprise that readers can become entranced by tidy infographics. While most can recognize effective representations of data, it takes both a critical and creative thinker to condense data into a compelling visual model. Even though infographics can help to clarify meaning, it takes a special teacher to bring data to life. In the exemplary presentation below, master teacher, Hans Rosling, condenses 200 years, and 120,000 pieces of data, into a compelling 4 minute history lesson.

Bendheim-Thoman Center for Research on Child Wellbeing

Welcome to the CRCW The Bendheim-Thoman Center for Research on Child Wellbeing (CRCW) is an interdisciplinary center at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. Our mission is to stimulate basic research, educate faculty and students about issues related to children's policies, and influence policymakers and practitioners at the federal, state, and local levels. read more In the Washington Post, Ron Haskins reports that if the same share of adults were married today as in 1970, poverty would be reduced by more than a quarter. http://crcw.princeton.edu/
Resources Indicators of child well-being increasingly are being used by federal, state and local governments and by nonprofit organizations to measure the impact of welfare reform and other social policies on children and their families. Statistical indicators are useful in describing demographic and other characteristics, monitoring of program impacts, and holding agencies accountable for progress towards objectives and program outcomes. In addition, the establishment and tracking of indicators can be a catalyst for interagency coordination across governmental agencies and levels.
