Seeking asylum is an emotive and highly contentious
issue in today s social and political environment.
Opinion about asylum seeking is usually based upon
information generalised from statistics. One of
those statistics highlights that if you are Black
African or an asylum seeker in the UK, you have a
six times greater chance of dying from conditions
related to pregnancy and childbirth than if you are
White. Within this context, understanding what
happens during maternity care to individuals who are
newly arrived is of paramount importance.
Understanding the women s view points in this book
has helped to create teaching aids that will enable
a process of reflection and may help professionals
to walk in the shoes of others. Seeing maternity
care from the perspective of others will help to
build sensitive and culturally appropriate care.
Therefore, this book would be especially useful for
all who are interested in the concept of asylum
seeking, those who are interested in building
strategies for inclusion and diversity or who teach
about asylum seeking, medical or midwifery students,
maternity carers and those whose professions are
allied to maternity care.
