Is the report of “Save the Children's "State of the World's Mothers 2015: The Urban Disadvantage,” written by Katia Hetter, (published by CNN, Monday evening May 4, 2015) a valid indicator that the world's social and economic systems are out of whack?  Does this list of the best and the worst, sound an alarm that demands a global response to   an increasingly volatile status of HAVES and HAVE NOTs?

Are policy makers clear (do they care) about the social, economic and cultural forces, that create and maintain the glaringly profound disparity along racial lines?  Swift and appropriate actions to address the disparity between BLACK AND WHITE, RICH and POOR are required to obtain social justice and maintain peace.

According to the CNN news report, "Save the Children works to improve the lives of children around the world, which includes better nutrition, sanitation, health care and education for mothers and their children.”  The report did not include demographic data of the countries; however, based on the location of the named Countries; one can surmise the racial, economic and cultural makeup without the specific demographics of each country.

Best countries for mothers:

  1. Norway
  2. Finland
  3. Iceland
  4. Denmark
  5. Sweden

Worst countries for mothers:

  1. Somalia
  2. Democratic Republic of the Congo
  3. The Central African Republic
  4. Mali
  5. Niger
