MEDIA ADVISORY
USAPANG BABAE LAMANG BA ITO?
Every day, 10 women die in the Philippines because of pregnancy and related causes. In fact, 162 women die out of 100,000 livebirths.
Six out of ten women are at risk (2006 Family Planning Survey) when they get pregnant because:
they are either too young (less than 18 years old)
they are too old (more than 34 years old)
they have had more than four pregnancies
they have too close or unspaced pregnancies (less than 24 months)
Because of these disturbing facts, MEN IN UNIFORM (Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police), MEN IN GOVERNMENT, AND MEN OF BASIC SECTORS AND NON-GOVERNMENT AGENCIES will gather on July 11, in commemoration of World Population Day, to forge a unified stand in addressing these issues on Maternal and Reproductive Health.
Join us in this historic event, dubbed as “2007 World Population Day Congress”:
