Among the many challenges, her government faces high rates of maternal mortality, high total fertility rates, and high HIV prevalence among women and girls, combined with low levels of women\u2019s economic empowerment and widespread violence against women.<\/p>\n<p>CSIS wanted to learn more about how women leaders in Africa are bringing new attention to women\u2019s health and empowerment in their own countries, and to bring those voices into the discussion about U.S. policy priorities for women\u2019s global health. To do this, we sent a small team to Malawi and Zambia in December 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In this interview, Malawi&#8217;s President Joyce Banda talks to CSIS about the importance of women&#8217;s health and empowerment in Malawi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Joyce Banda unexpectedly ascended to the presidency of Malawi last April, after the death of President Mutharika, many in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
