Martha Wainwright and Jim Kerr have just recorded an original version of the iconic Simple Minds song 'Promised You a Miracle', to draw attention to the hundreds of thousands of women still dying from avoidable complications in childbirth and pregnancy.
350,000 women and girls are still dying every year as a result of complications due to pregnancy and childbirth.
The vast majority of maternal deaths are avoidable when women have access to vital health care before, during and after birth.
This must stop, and now is the time to act. The G8 summit offers a critical opportunity to tackle maternal mortality.
Take action now
Demand that world leaders keep their promises.
