Description:This book analyses significant socio-cultural factors impacting childbirth experiences of women living in remote and complex social settings.This book challenges the notion that childbirth is a universal biological event which women experience in their reproductive life and provides an in-depth social perspective of understanding childbirth. Drawing on evocative stories of women living in the Himalayas, the author explains how childbirth should be supported to enable women to take control and ownership of their experiences. Based on extensive research in the mountain setting of Nepal, the book provides evidence and discussion for childbirth in the context other countries, cultures and communities. Utilising a feminist perspective, this book critiques the medical control of childbirth and argues to give power to women so that they can make right decisions. The author unpacks the complexities associated with women's lives in remote communities and highlights the significance of addressing broader determinants impacting birth outcomes and valuing childbirth traditions to ensure cultural safety for women, families and societies.While exploring the wide ranges of factors influencing women and their childbirth experiences, this book offers a new model for childbirth that policy makers, practitioners, communities, educators, researchers and other professionals can use to make childbirth an empowering experience to women.
