At least half a million women die annually in the Third World due to pregnancy, birth, and the unsafe abortion; uncounted millions suffer chronic, severe health problems or infertility. Most illness and death due to reproduction and sexuality is, however, preventable. IWHC seeks to generate practical experience, leadership, alliances, and the political will required to ensure reproductive health and dignity for girls and women throughout the Third World.
