India slips to 75 on mom wellness index - The Times of India: "Becoming a mother is not a woman's most memorable experience in India.
Consider this: one out of every 140 women in the country runs the risk of dying during childbirth. An average Indian woman's life expectancy is only 66 years, which is among the lowest in the world. Less than half (49%) of women in the country use some form of modern contraceptives. Only 11% of the seats in power or government are occupied by women. An average woman has around 10 years of formal schooling. Just over half (53%) of women are assisted by trained health workers while giving birth to a child."
