Default-piece-image-2 Providing for the needs of pregnant women and mothers in conflict, post-conflict and emergency situations can be a major challenge. During armed conflict, the well-being of women is threatened by physical, sexual and psychological abuse, and vital maternal care services are typically disrupted by the devastation of health infrastructure. A new podcast discussion, hosted by UNICEF to advance the conversation on maternal health, features three panellists: Sarah Chynoweth of the Women?s Commission for Refugee Women and Children; Etelle Higonnet, who currently works with the Iraq History Project and produced ?Weapon?, a film about sexual violence in C?te d?Ivoire; and Susan Purdin of the International Rescue Committee.
