Om Anwar Al Sa'ad, 58, holds baby Fajwar who she helped to deliver 17 days ago in Sah, Hadramout. Om Anwar is a Traditional Birth Attendant and has received 40 days training from Oxfam. A woman dies every minute in pregnancy or childbirth somewhere in the world - mainly in the 75 poorest countries where access to trained professionals and cheap but effective medicines is scarce.

Watch the video of two Welsh women - MEP Glenys Kinnock and nurse Angela Gorman - who are trying to make a difference.

Oxfam works across the world to improve maternal mortality rates in some of the poorest nations.
