"Childbirth in the UK, stories from refugees" is a film of first-hand accounts of the many challenges refugee and asylum seeking women often face throughout pregnancy, birth and the early stages of motherhood. Watching the women speak about the physical, emotional and cultural difficulties they have sought to overcome is thought provoking, enlightening and heart wrenching.
The content of the film has been led by asylum seeking and refugee women and links with the model "Pregnant Woman in the Global Context developed by Dr Mel Cooper, University of Bradford. It helps to develop a deeper understanding of the issues highlighted in the different layers of the model.
The film and model will be a great educational resource for midwives and other health professionals working with asylum seekers and refugees who are pregnant or more generally when accessing health care
PLEASE SHARE THE LINK WE WANT EVERYONE TO WATCH IT AND USE THE MODEL
The film is free to watch and can be viewed on the Maternity Stream of the City of Sanctuary website, with the model
