At the 20th anniversary of the Safe Motherhood Initiative, Women Deliver asked “What needs to be done differently?”

Participants in the conference responded, generating the closing statements that present a fresh vision for ensuring maternal health and rights. 

Following Women Deliver, we all return to the day-to-day work in our respective sectors: what will you do differently?

Please email your answer to the WD organizing team at info@womendeliver.org.  The conference organizers are recording projects and partnerships catalyzed by Women Deliver.  Your story is important; we will be highlighting inspiring changes and initiatives on this website.

If you attended the conference, we also welcome any photos you are willing to share for publication on this website and in future Women Deliver materials, including follow-up reports and promotional documents for subsequent conferences.  Please email images as jpeg files to info@womendeliver.org.

When sending photos, please clearly label each image, including the name, affiliation, and home country of individuals pictured and the photographer’s information for proper crediting.  If you have a large number of photos to share, please be in touch, and we can discuss the best way to transfer the files.
