SUMMARY

Women are a crucial part of our society and their health and wellbeing is of prime importance for sustainable development. Healthy women can be more productive in their work and earn steadily throughout their lives. However, so far, women still die of many preventable causes during pregnancy and childbirth and most of them lack access to quality healthcare. They witness huge disparities in society in terms of exercising their human rights and providing full contribution in economy, politics and social development. Further, women from marginalised communities face even worse fate. Maternal mortality is higher in women living in rural areas and among poorer communities. The vision of the United Nations’ Global Strategy includes helping women in every setting realize their basic health rights so that they can contribute in shaping a prosperous and sustainable society. The objectives of this strategy are to help women survive, thrive and transform to reduce their risk of preventable deaths. Thus, to achieve this goal, there is a need for inclusive development of women from all strata of society.
