We are honored that Dr. Veronique Thouvenot, as co-founder of Zero Mothers Die, was selected as one of the 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019 as part of BBC's 100 Women initiative, alongside other female leaders, such as Greta Thunberg, who are driving change on behalf of women worldwide.
BBC held two international Future Conferences to bring together women who are experts in their fields - female futurists working at the cutting edge of science, arts, media, economics, education, fashion, religion, identity and many other areas.
Zero Mothers Die was invited to present at the BBC 100 Women: The Female Future conference in London by Dr Thouvenot who shared our vision of what life could look like in 2030 - getting maternal mortality to zero!

BBC asked how technology can be used to combat maternal mortality, and Zero Mothers Die was presented as a key initiative in this space thanks to the Zero Mothers Die App, which offers localized and contextualized information for pregnant women at every stage of their pregnancy. Our vision is to reach ZERO mothers dying by 2030, as this is the only acceptable figure for maternal mortality.
