WHERE THE HEART IS
“In the U.S., two or three women a day die in childbirth,” says Christy Turlington Burns, explaining why she founded Every Mother Counts, a maternal-health advocacy group. “Because our health system is in disrepair, a lot of women fall through the cracks.” The organization aims to make pregnancy safe for all women, from Orlando to Uganda, where Turlington Burns filmed No Woman, No Cry (2010), which explores the experience of expectant mothers worldwide. Of maternal health treatment, Turlington Burns says, “It’s a serious indicator of when a country is prioritizing its women.”
