stories of mothers lost
participating organizations | share a storyStories of Mothers Lost is a stunning collection of fabric panels created by men and women to honor the lives of loved ones needlessly lost in 20 countries, from Afghanistan to Uganda and Bangladesh to Burkina Faso, India and Tanzania. Created by the WRA, with support from the United Nations Population Fund, and on display for the first time in October 2007 in London, this traveling exhibition shines a global spotlight on the changes necessary to ensure every woman's birthright - to live through pregnancy and childbirth, ready to nurture children and contribute to the vitality of her community and nation.
In 2008, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this exhibit was on display at various venues in conjunction with the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, DC in April, World Economic Forum in South Africa in June, G8 Summit in Japan in July and UN Summit in New York in September.
