Being a mother today: Wishes and big problems

144
Many women in cities want a child. But they have fewer children than in the country. In Wien only 35 of 100 women have children. They often live in small flats. They also study for a long time. Bad times like war or high prices stop plans. In the United States having a child is expensive. A birth costs over 15.000 Dollars there. Families pay this money often alone. Black women die more often at birth there. In Gaza the need is even bigger. Mothers and children have little help there. Many mothers fight for their children. A mother from Steiermark talks about her girl. The child has Trisomie 21. The mother loves her children very much. But offices make her life often hard. She gets no money for care. She likes to be a mother. For her every day is a mother day.
