who we are

Welcome to the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.

Every minute of every day, a woman dies of pregnancy related complications, totaling more than one half million women each year.

We are here to change that.

The White Ribbon Alliance is an international coalition bound together by a common goal: to ensure that pregnancy and childbirth are safe for all women and newborns in every country around the world.

Our coalition is 104 countries strong, full of men and women who are committed to our cause. But we need you to be even stronger. Click here to learn more about what we're doing and how you can play your part.
