As when we launch our campaign
it's not our voices that matter
the voices of those
who are the frontline of this struggle
to cut down maternal mortality in Sierra Leone
Women rights activist Ezakol
has been campaigning to improve maternity facilities
and to highlight the shocking figures of maternal death
in Sierra Leone
Maternity services in Sierra Leone is supposed to be free
but this is rarely the case
Health services is severely underfunded
under-resourced, and understaffed
In the country where 50 percent of the population live on less than $1 a day
the poorer you are, the more likely you are to die in child birth
