In Nigeria, 1 in 18 women die due to pregnancy related complications. It's an issue that many of the feminist organizations are now beginning to focus on.
One of our members, Evelyn Castle, is the co-director of e-health Nigeria. The group supports the management of health facilities in Nigeria to influence health-related funding and policy decisions, and to help doctors with patient information needed to improve decision-making before, during and after care.
Evelyn is spending the next six months working with feminist Nigerian leaders, reproductive health workers, and women government officials.
Feminist Majority's "Feminist Campus" blog recently included an entry from Evelyn discussing her work.
