Community-Based Doulas for Migrant Women: Health Equity, Volunteerism and Flourishing Forward
Evidence suggests that migrant women in high-income countries experience poorer maternal health outcomes and more negative childbirth experiences than non-migrant women. A lack of culturally-responsive care may be a contributing factor. A possible solution may be through community-based doulas providing continuous support to migrant women throughout their pregnancy, labour and birth and postnatal experiences.
