Discovery Early Career Researcher Award - Grant ID: DE200100264

Funded Activity Summary

Giving Mums a fair go: culturally-responsive care for refugees and migrants. More than one-third of women giving birth in Australia are refugees or migrants, who have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences and outcomes compared to Australian-born women. This project uses an intersectional lens to explore how lived experiences of gender inequality, racism, and migration contribute to social disadvantage and poor experiences of maternal health. A participatory research approach will be used to engage with refugee and migrant women and provide them with an opportunity to share their stories in their own voices. Knowledge generated will increase understanding of why these women have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences, and potential solutions will be co-developed to address these inequalities in the future.
