Niger is the worst place on the planet to be a
mum, new research published by Save the Children has found.The West
African country, one of the world’s poorest, has replaced Afghanistan at
the bottom of the children’s charity’s annual State of the World’s
Mothers ranking. The index compares conditions for mothers in 165
countries around the globe, looking at factors such as mother's health,
education and economic status, as well as critical child indicators such
as health and nutrition.
The report reveals the impact nutrition has on the wellbeing of mothers and children. Of the ten countries at the bottom of the index, seven are currently facing a food crisis -with Niger at the epicenter of a developing emergency that is threatening the lives of up to a million children.
