Save the Children in the News

Watch Save the Children's President & CEO, Carolyn Miles, discuss The Best and Worst Places to Be a Mom with Gwen Ifill on PBS NewsHour.

Save the Children’s thirteenth State of the World’s Mothers report shows Niger as the worst place to be a mother in the world — replacing Afghanistan for the first time in two years. Norway comes in at first place.

The Best and Worst Places to Be a Mom ranking, which compares 165 countries around the globe, looks at factors such as a mother's health, education and economic status, as well as critical child indicators such as health and nutrition. This year, the United States ranks 25th.

Here are selections from leading media outlets about the report:
