It was bloody interesting.
I found myself really torn over alot of it, on one hand the care the mothers recieved in hospital was shocking. For example a lady who had just given birth to a still-born baby (her baby had been pt in a bedpan for her to collect when she was reaady) was on a bed next to a lady who was/had given birth to a healthy baby. Lots of the women seemed to be a single parent. There is a fear of rape (less now than during the civil war). Lots of the women worked a number of jobs to survive.
Then on the other hand in the interview with the Liberian midwife she seem really empowered and was proud the in the majority of cases the women was the breadwinner.
