My Sisters' Keeper
A Message from Reverend Dr. Carlton W. Veazey, President and CEO, Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice
My Sisters’ Keeper is a Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) initiative, working with Presbyterians and other people of faith to educate and advocate for increased U.S. support for family planning and reproductive health services globally.
Did you know that every year in developing countries in Africa, Asia and elsewhere:
- More than half-a-million women die from pregnancy-related causes,
- Millions of women suffer serious health complications from pregnancy or childbirth.
- Four million newborns die in the first month of life.
The tragic toll of pregnancy and childbirth on women and infants in developing countries tests our sense of justice. But, as people of faith, we can make a difference, here at home. We can help save the lives of women and infants in the poorest nations of the world, improve women’s health, and empower women, men and families to have a better life. My Sisters’ Keeper is working with people of faith to educate and advocate for increased U.S. support for family planning and reproductive health services globally.
