  • Title: Status of women and infants in complex humanitarian emergencies.
    Author: Al Gasseer N, Dresden E, Keeney GB, Warren N.
    Journal: J Midwifery Womens Health; 2004; 49(4 Suppl 1):7-13. PubMed ID: 15236698.
    Abstract:
    Women and children bear the greatest burden in the midst of war and long-term disasters. Complex humanitarian emergencies are characterized by social disruption, armed conflict, population displacement, collapse of public health infrastructure, and food shortages. Humanitarian assistance for refugees and internally displaced populations requires particular attention to the common issues affecting morbidity and mortality in women and infants. Gender-based violence and reproductive health concerns are discussed within the context of populations affected by conflict and forced migration. Recommendations for midwives and women's health care providers engaging in care for women and children in complex humanitarian emergencies are discussed.
