“Yes, we've cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don't count for much if they're not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice - not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” IfsStillsCareLawPoliticalBeliefReligiousHalfPracticeCuttingRightsChangedSafePaperResourcesRateCriticalAccessHealth CareCodeMortalityDeniedChildbirthReligious BeliefPolitical WillReproductive Health Author:Hillary Clinton
“A certain monk told me that when he was very sick, his mother said to his father, "How our little boy is suffering. I would gladly give myself to be cut up into pieces if that would ease his suffering." Such is the love of God for people. He pitied people so much that he wanted to suffer for them, like their own mother, and even more. But no one can understand this great love without the grace of the Holy Spirit.” PeopleIfsInspirationalGivingLittlesSaidWantedChristianSpiritMotherCertainSufferingFatherReligiousBoysGracePiecesCuttingHolySickGod LoveEaseHoly SpiritOrthodoxMonkGreat LoveLittle Boys Author:Silouan the Athonite
