Women and Girls: Empowerment through Mental Health Report “Women experience more stressors simply by being women in the world today. 90% of practitioners surveyed agree. Mental health is foundational to women’s empowerment. 97% of practitioners agree that investing in mental health improves the sustainability of empowerment outcomes. Not enough is being done. 61% of practitioners agree that mental health is not adequately integrated into gender equality and empowerment work. Funding is the largest barrier to progress. 82% of gender organizations don’t receive any funding for mental health work, despite this, 55% of organizations now integrate mental health”.

 

Key facts from World Health Organisation, state every day in 2020, almost 800 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. A maternal death occurred almost every two minutes in 2020. Between 2000 and 2020, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR, number of maternal deaths per 100, 000 live births) dropped by about 34% worldwide. Almost 95% of all maternal deaths occurred in low and lower-middle-income countries in 2020. Care by skilled health professionals before, during and after childbirth can save the lives of women and newborns. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia accounted for around 87% (253,000) of the estimated global maternal deaths in 2020. Sub-Saharan Africa alone accounted for around 70% of maternal deaths (202,000), while Southern Asia accounted for around 16% (47,000).

 

World Family Planning 2020 Highlights, mentioned, globally, the proportion of women of reproductive age who have their need for family planning satisfied by use of modern methods, indicator 3.7.1 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has increased from 73.6 per cent in 2000 to 76.8 per cent in 2020. Relatively rapid increases in the use of modern contraceptive methods have occurred in Central and Southern Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Western Asia and Northern Africa. Still, only about half of all women who want to avoid pregnancy are using a modern method in Oceania excluding Australia and New Zealand (52.1%) and in sub-Saharan Africa (55.5%)

 

According to UNFPA Sierra Leone, the percentage of teenagers (15–19) who have given birth or are pregnant with their first child decreased from 28 per cent in 2013 to 21 per cent in 2019. Early childbearing is still common in Sierra Leone and in 2019, the median age at first birth among women aged 25–49 was 19.5 years.  Twenty-five per cent of women and girls of reproductive age who want to plan their families do not have access to modern family planning services. The proportion of demand satisfied for family planning remains low at 46 per cent.
