Special Report: Universal Children's Day |
The rights of children are closely linked with those of women. For more on this, we're joined on the phone by Dr. Hana Brixi, chief of UNICEF's social policy and economic analysis department. Hello, Dr. Brixi.
Q1. Research has shown that around 80 percent of maternal deaths could be averted if women had access to essential maternity and basic-care services. What can we do to create a more supportive environment for women?
Q2. In the UNICEF report, we noticed that pregnancies at younger ages, mainly the result of child marriage, often lead to high maternal and neonatal mortality. How important is education in changing the situation?
Thank you, Dr. Brixi.
That was Dr. Hana Brixi of UNICEF.
