Everyone has the right to survive their pregnancy – this year’s theme in Musikhjälpen

Every two minutes a woman dies related to pregnancy or childbirth. Nevertheless, the solution is often simple, it is about clean water, sanitation, nutrition, vaccination and basic healthcare.

– Ensuring women’s sexual and reproductive rights and health is fundamental for the individual, the family but also for the whole society. A safe pregnancy and a safe delivery are important issues of equality and gender equality, says Radiohjälpen’s secretary general Kristina Henschen.
