17 Days of Action: From Mother Earth to Mothers

The Population Institute joined with other supporters of the "Million for a Billion" petition campaign to highlight the linkages between family planning, healthy mothers and a healthy planet. When women everywhere have access to family planning and reproductive health services, there are fewer unplanned births, fewer women die as a result of pregnancy-related causes, and more children survive infancy.  Women are empowered, their families prosper, and the whole world benefits. From Earth Day to Mother's Day supporters of the petition asked their followers to take a specific action every day to learn more about the benefits of providing universal access to reproductive health services.
