| 説明 | President Joyce Banda is the first female President of Malawi - and the second female President in the whole of Africa. She became an advocate for women's reproductive health after nearly dying in childbirth having her fourth child. She is an active member of the Aspen Institutes Global Leaders Council for Reproductive Health.“I am saddened by the fact that over 220 million women worldwide do not have the means to decide whether, when and how many children to have. This is a breach of their right to choice and right to health." “I believe that family planning will accelerate the attainment of all the Millennium Development Goals since family planning is a key tool for social development. Specifically family planning will enhance the ability for developing countries to meet MDG 5, since family planning is an effective strategy for the reduction of maternal deaths." Background On 11 July 2012 the UK Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will host a groundbreaking summit to cut in half the current number of women and girls in the world’s poorest countries without access to contraception, but who wish to avoid pregnancy or space their children.Every woman and girl deserves the opportunity to to determine her own future. Contraceptives give the world's poorest women the power to decide if and when to have another child.
