Atlas of Birth

The Atlas of Birth is raising maternal health on the agenda of policymakers around the world while fueling the popular movement for change. This global project includes the book (now in CD form, soon in print); the acclaimed short film Birth and Death - and a series of Atlas of Birth flyers created at key political moments to spark debate, media coverage, public engagement and political action.

The Atlas of Birth is a responsive, interactive project which invites your feedback as we build momentum towards the agreed international goal of reducing needless maternal deaths by three quarters before 2015.

Atlas of Birth authors include Brigid McConville and Katy Woods of The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood; Professor Zoë Matthews and Dr. Sarah Neal of University of Southampton; and Professor Wendy J Graham, and Jacqueline Bell of Immpact at University of Aberdeen.
