A Statement from PMNCH

We, the Board and staff of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn& Child Health (PMNCH), are appalled by the violent death of George Floyd. His and so many other deaths and injustices are reminders of insidious and systemic racism that exists in all countries around the world. Discrimination and exclusion based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity and other grounds are often the underlying driver of inequities faced by women, children and adolescents, infringing on their rights and dignity and leading to vast disparities in health and well-being.
