Did you know that half of all pregnancies around the world are unintended?
This year, 121 million women and girls — who did not plan to — will find themselves pregnant.
And 260K of them will die from preventable pregnancy and childbirth complications.
But we can get these numbers down to zero.

This year, the U.S. government terminated all funding for UNFPA.
Reporter Nicholas Kristof visited one area affected by these cuts—a UNFPA maternity clinic in South Sudan. Before the clinic opened, there was no care available in the region, and mothers and babies died regularly during childbirth.
