London Mums Blog: Would you do this to your baby?

02 October 2010

Would you do this to your baby?

To highlight the 1,000 women who die everyday in pregnancy and childbirth in poor countries, Oxfam organised the reconstruction of this iconic image to coincide with the Millennium Development Goals summit which took place in New York last month. Pregnant women from London took part in the reconstruction of the Charles Clyde Ebbets ‘New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam’ image in support of an Oxfam campaign.

Well done ladies!

Even though it's mocked up, it makes me feel quite queasy! Great shot. And very worthwhile campaign; thanks for highlighting it.

Gives me vertigo!

A worthy cause and a cracking photo to boot.
