Maternal Health Task Force
by Whitney Westhoff

Many pregnant people must face the fact that despite strides made in drug development, very few approved drugs have been explicitly studied in pregnant patients, and many pregnancy-related conditions lack approved therapies. Despite this fact, a multi-national study conducted in Europe, North and South America, and Australia found over 80% of their respondents reported using at least one medication (prescribed or over the counter) while pregnant.

Developing Maternity Care to Reverse Patterns of Violence and Inequality in West Papua
Maternal Health Task Force

Reproductive abandonment refers to conditions that discourage and inhibit relations of desired reproduction, in its social, biological, infrastructural, and environmental senses. For example, in parts of the world, medical technologies that could facilitate life, birth and reproduction are largely absent or facilitate violence, such as the use of violent practices toward women in labour.

A mother in Nagorno-Karabakh, who is one of thousands at risk in the war-torn region in Armenia | Emile Ghessen | @emileghessen Disease outbreaks, healthcare system disruptions, and the displacement of populations: these are just a few of the acute symptoms of armed conflict.
