Niger's shame

Niger is the worst country in the world in which to be a mother, according to a report by Save the Children. Save the Children has highlighted the vast differences between women's experience in Niger and the UK, with those in the former expecting having a one in 16 chance of dying from a pregnancy-related cause, against almost one in 5,000 in the UK.
