Anika Rahman, Americans for UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) President, presides over the NASDAQ Opening Bell to celebrate restored U.S. support for UNFPA and the world's women. 

She called on Americans to declare their support at www.americansforunfpa.org. Rahman is joined by Board Members, UNFPA leadership and staff of Americans for UNFPA.

Every minute a woman dies in pregnancy and childbirth. UNFPA is leading efforts to ensure that no woman dies giving life but to end maternal death they need increased political and financial will from the private sector and government. Every year, the world loses $15 billion in productivity because of maternal death. Saving women would bring an enormous gain in world productivity.
