Women Deliver 2010
June 7, 2010 - June 9, 2010
Washington, D.C.
Established in 2007, Women Deliver is a global organization committed to Millennium Development Goal 5 – to reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio by 2015, and to achieving universal access to reproductive health.
The theme for the
Women Deliver 2010 conference is “Delivering Solutions for Girls and Women.” The overarching goals for the conference are to raise awareness around maternal and reproductive health as global priority, as well as to solidify global commitments and investments around Millennium Development Goal 5. The Foundation will be actively involved throughout the conference by hosting an exhibition booth, and through participation in two panel discussions by senior Foundation staff.
