"I find [a new report (.pdf) released Tuesday by Save the Children] particularly interesting because it broadens the debate" over family planning by discussing not only the logistics of providing modern contraceptives to women in need, but "the young women, sometimes no more than children themselves, who risk their lives and those of their babies if they become pregnant inside or outside of marriage," Guardian health editor Sarah Boseley writes in her "Global Health Blog." She notes that the report says complications from pregnancy are the leading killer of women ages 15 to 19 and infants born to women under 20 are at a much greater risk of dying before their first birthday than those born to older women. Boseley writes, "The low status of girls and their power to make decisions over their own bodies is fundamental," and family planning and education can help empower women.
