The <A target="_blank" href="http://www.savethechildren.org/campaigns/state-of-the-worlds-mothers-report/2007/mothers-index.html">report</A> is the eighth annual of its kind compiled by the global humanitarian organization. The report considers, among other factors, the risk of maternal mortality, use of modern contraceptives, the presence of skilled attendants during labor, women's income as compared to men's, education for girls, the percentage of underweight children under five, and the participation of women in government. Sweden is ranked the best place to be a mother and Niger falls last. The United States places 26 of 140 countries. Italy provides the best environment for children; Niger and Afghanistan tie for last place.</DIV> <BR /><DIV> Maternal mortality rates are of strong concern in the lowest-tier countries. In <A href="http://feminist.org/news/newsbyte/news_results.asp?Body=Afghanistan&Submit=GO">Afghanistan</A>, Save the Children found that one in six women dies in childbirth. One in four Afghan children dies before reaching the age of five.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/84DE8004-0E14-4DCE-A485-9BC376EF4AD8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
