Earlier this week on the 8th March was International women's day. This is a day that praises women's social, political and economic accomplishments around the world. The first one took place in 1911 and is recognised in some countries as a holiday. Many campaigns used this day as an opportunity to raise awareness for pregnant women dieing in developing countries. The UN further noted that there was little improvement in pregnant women's mortality rates in countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia.
