Happy International Safe Motherhood season, dear readers! Whilst it isn’t official, we tap into our sentiment of promoting safe motherhood globally.
In this edition of Raising Women Magazine, we cast a bold, compassionate light on reproductive health. Not as a taboo, but as a right, a conversation, and a shared responsibility. From confronting maternal mortality to questioning who holds power in shaping global reproductive policies, this issue invites us to reframe what care truly means. We shine a light on an Ex-Beauty Quee, Ezinne Akudo who wants us to live softly, minimal, elegant, and calm … just like NKASSI.
Our cover story features Isra Chaker, a Syrian American activist and mother, whose Every Pregnancy campaign is building a world where no woman dies giving life. Alongside her, we examine Bill Gates’s influence on population agendas, dissect
digital health trends, and reclaim autonomy in every scroll, symptom, and statistic.
Reproductive health concerns all of us, women and men alike. It is not about control, but about care, choice, and dignity. May this issue inspire policy, empower voices, and spark conversations that last beyond the page
