"LAHEREIN" Training of Trainers for Women's Development
Based on the belief that leadership will bring about the change that is required to improve the reproductive health of women and their families, LDM India strategically collaborated with Women Development Corporation, Bihar to build a team of master trainers who can incorporate leadership development activities into the scope of their current work and who have the knowledge, skills and commitment to facilitate leadership development programs in Bihar. WDC is a strategic partner with an outreach/membership of a large number of professionals working in the field of women’s leadership and RH. Along with 17 participants from WDC, 5 fellows participated in the program with the vision that they will carry forward this training in Bihar and Jharkhand.

A new report shows that while the maternal mortality rate in India is slowly declining, it is still alarmingly high. Maternal deaths in India account for 25 percent of maternal deaths worldwide. Although abortion is widely legal countrywide, the lack of access to services for millions of poor and rural-dwelling women has meant that unsafe abortion is still a major contributor to maternal deaths. PPFA is working to address maternal mortality in India by supporting local reproductive health groups on the ground to ensure affordable and accessible services, including safe abortion services, for underserved women.
