Perinatal outcomes have been worse among migrant women, particularly mental health, maternal mortality, preterm birth and congenital anomalies. Access and use of care was obstructed by structural, organisational, social, personal & cultural barriers. Migrant women’s experiences of care included negative communication, discrimination, poor relationships with health professionals, cultural clashes & negative experiences of clinical intervention. Asylum seekers & refugees often face complex obstetric issues, sexual assault, unwanted pregnancy, offspring mortality, poverty, social isolation & experiences of racism, prejudice & stereotyping within perinatal healthcare. The combination of increased risks & decreased services can lead to poor health outcomes & even death.

Undocumented migrants, in particular pregnant women 🤰 and their newborns 👶, constitute a particularly vulnerable group of migrants. They often underutilize essential maternal & child healthcare services 🏥 due to a lack of knowledge 📚 and fear of deportation. 🚨 The combination of increased risks & decreased services can lead to poor health outcomes & even death.

Today is #InternationalMigrantsDay! Out of all the people who have had to leave their home countries, nearly 34 million are refugees or asylum seekers, and half of them are children. Migrant women & children have worse health outcomes. Amid rising global instability, we MUST protect the most vulnerable.
