"Keep Your Promise" : It could save lives.

The 8 Millenium Development Goals (MDG) with a target date of 2015 calls for immediate action and participation.

1. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
2. Achieve Universal Primary Education
3. Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
4. Reduce Child Mortality
5. Improve Maternal Health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other Diseases
7. Ensure Environment Sustainability
8. Develop a Global Partnership for Development

With little time to spare, awareness is the key to the start up of a big action with small combined efforts.YOUR effort!

The focus on the MDG 5 - Improve Maternal Health to raise awareness in Ireland has sparked a global instinct to take action and place human right actions where it should be - in the press!

With a video, part of ASK’s Keep Your Promise campaign, Irish youth leaders share important facts about Maternal and Reproductive Health.

Pregnancy and childbirth related deaths are the number one killers of girls aged 15 – 19 in low-income countries - one of the many facts that young people are not aware of.

 

Get yourself in touch with global issues and stop living in ignorance.
